Genuinely curious; aside from quite literally just voting on an earlier date than “normal”, what else does “early voting” imply? From a layman perspective it would seem voting at a time where inclement weather is less likely is a plus. More people get out to vote, the populous is represented more accurately. Do you see any downsides to this? Perhaps my understanding of “early voting” is incorrect.

Edit: I guess the previously shot down amendment also intended to make changes to absently ballots, where this one does not.

“The 2022 amendment would authorize in-person early voting but not an expansion of absentee voting like the 2014 amendment.”
