There are still 10 days left before US election day, but millions of voters have already cast their ballots.

More than one in five voters plans to vote early - and about 5% have already done so, the National Annenberg Election Survey announced this week.

Election officials hope early voting will help relieve pressure on election day itself, 2 November, when larger than average turnouts are expected.

Some 30 states allow early or absentee votes without any need for explanation.
