2021 Virginia Turnout Update – 27 October

Today’s update for the model includes the early voting data from yesterday, the 26th. As it’s Wednesday, only four of the seven days from the last week of early voting in 2020 are still included. The methodology and assumptions I used can be found here [1].

One additional note, assuming the number of registered voters didn’t increase from 2020 to 2021 – and please note that history implies it falls slightly at the point of the quadrennial cycle – the model is projecting a turnout rate of just over 50%.
