This year's U.S. presidential election will likely see a record turnout for early voting, with a similar record possible for overall voter turnout.

Michael McDonald, a voting and elections expert and associate professor at George Mason University, in Fairfax, Va., is keeping close tabs on the number of pre-election day voters.

His United States Elections Project website reports that 16.1 million Americans have voted as of 3:45 p.m. Wednesday afternoon. And there are still five more days to go before the main vote on Tuesday.

McDonald, 41, predicts that as many as three in 10 Americans will vote early, compared to seven per cent of voters in the 1992 election, or 22.5 per cent of voters in the 2004 election.

If his prediction is accurate, it would "absolutely" be the highest pre-election voter turnout in history, he said.
