Early Voting Surges In Quad Cities Metro Area Ahead Of Nov. 3 Election
Early voting has seen a major increase in the Quad Cities metro area, with officials reporting a significant surge compared to the 2022 general election as the November 3rd election approaches.
Davenport Rock Island Moline, IA, October 27, 2026 —
Early voting in the Quad Cities metro area has increased significantly compared with the 2022 general election, according to officials, as the November 3 election approaches. The information available describes a major rise but does not provide a vote total or percentage change.
The report does not identify the officials who described the increase or specify which jurisdictions in the metro area are included. It also does not state when early voting began, how many people have voted so far, or how the current pace compares with earlier elections beyond the 2022 general election.
The election year was not provided. No details were included about the offices or measures on the ballot, the number of voting locations, or the reasons for the increase. Without those figures and details, the scale and geographic distribution of the reported surge cannot be independently assessed from the information provided.
The comparison with 2022 is the only historical benchmark in the report. It does not say whether the increase refers to ballots cast, people who participated, or another measure of early voting. Officials’ reported comparison therefore signals a notable change, but the available information does not establish its precise size.
Further details, including updated voting totals and the jurisdictions covered, were not provided. The report also does not describe what officials expect as Election Day approaches. For now, the available account establishes only that officials have reported substantially higher early voting in the Quad Cities metro area than during the 2022 general election.
