“ Michelle and I voted early today. Now it's your turn. Check or update your voter registration and make plans to vote early or on Election Day. Because every vote counts, ”wrote the former president on his Twitter account.

“Today I voted early in the 2022 midterm elections! I want to see you turn out to vote with your voting squad. Barack is in my #VotingSquad, who's in yours? Tag them below and remind them to register and make a plan to vote.”
Going to the polling station to cast your vote before the election date is a formula that, along with voting by mail, has become very popular in the US in recent years, especially among the Democratic-leaning electorate.
The trend also takes up the fact that the majority of Republican voters prefer to continue voting on the same day of the elections, which has sometimes caused some votes to abound more than others during the count, depending on whether they are running the counts deposited that same day or in previous days.
Today, I voted early in the 2022 midterm elections! I want to see you turning out to vote with your voting squad.
