Contains more detail, and especially guides people toward checking their local area information.

To simply state that early in-person voting begins on such and such a date, as most of the charts do, is misleading. Because those dates vary across a state, depending on the municipality. For example, while it’s true by law that early voting in my state may commence as early as September 24, in reality, in my city/county, it begins on October 14.

There are many details to the voting procedures, and people should not rely solely on these charts. Call or go to the website of your specific election authority. Not all details are uniform throughout a state.
