Alexandra Monsalve (second from left) waited with others as the line stretched out the door on the first day of early voting in Bridgeport. “I want to save the country,” she said.

ǻ’s early voting days for the general election have wrapped up. Numbers show that hundreds of thousands of eligible voters took advantage of the new voting method that took effect earlier this year.

Across ǻ, 741,895 voters submitted a ballot early and in-person at polls, according to the Secretary of the State’s office. The 14-day began on Oct. 21, and wrapped up Sunday.

Although the method was new to ǻ for a general election, numbers show eligible voters flocked to the polls throughout the entire two weeks of early voting. A week into early voting over 300,000 voters cast ballots.

There’s no early voting on Monday. Polls will re-open for in-person voting on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
