Conducted in every presidential election since 2008, the SPAE is the only national survey of election administration that focuses on the voting process and offers insights into the performance of elections in the individual states.  \nIn 2024, a total of 10,200 registered voters participated in the survey conducted by YouGov, with 200 responses collected from each state as well as the District of Columbia. The study received financial support from the Election Trust Initiative.  \nAmong the findings discussed in this report are the following:  \nVoting by mail  \n» The use of mail ballots in 2024 decreased from pandemic-era levels but stayed above historical norms.  \n» The percentage of voters casting ballots by mail decreased to 29%, down from 43% in 2020 but up from 21% in 2016.  \n» The partisan divide in mail voting continued, with more Democrats than Republicans utilizing this method, although the gap narrowed because of declining usage among Democrats.  \n» Thirty-seven percent of Democrats reported voting by mail, compared to 24% of Republicans. This is a decrease from 60% for Democrats and 32% for Republicans in 2020.  \n» Patterns of ballot returns continued to evolve, with drop box usage rebounding and Postal Service usage decreasing modestly.  \n» The use of mail to return ballots mailed to voters rebounded in 2022 to 62%, compared to 53% in 2020. Twenty-one percent of mail ballots were returned to drop boxes, which remains virtually unchanged from 2020.  \n» Very few mail-in voters reported issues with requesting or completing their ballots.  \n» Nearly three percent of voters who returned their ballots at a drop box reported witnessing something disruptive, such as demonstrators, during the drop-off process.  \nVoting In-Person  \n» The percentage of voters casting ballots on Election Day increased to 40%, up from 31% in 2020 but down from 60% in 2016. Meanwhile, the percentage of voters casting ballots during early voting saw a slight uptick compared to 2020, rising to 31% from 26% .  \n» Most in-person voters noted a smooth process.  \n» Over 98% reported no issues with registration or equipment.  \n» The percentage of voters who reported that it was very easy to find their polling place on Election Day declined to 77%, down from 87% in 2020. Comparable statistics for early voting were 85% and 84% .  \n» In-person voting at schools has gradually declined over the past decade, and they are no longer the most common sites for Election Day voting.  \n» The percentage of Election Day voters casting a ballot at a school decreased to 22%, down from 28% in 2020. In contrast, the percentage of those voting at a community center increased to 32%, up from 21% in 2020.  \n» Average wait times for both Election Day and early voters decreased.  \n» Eleven percent of voters on Election Day waited over 30 minutes to cast their ballots, compared to 14% in 2020.
