In-Person Early Votes: 1,279,232
Party split: 35.0% Democrats, 33.6% Republicans, 31.4% Independents
NC's latest registration file shows 2.43m D, 2.32m R, 2.94m I. Dems and GOP are voting proportionately to each other, indies lower than both. Rs are generally older than Ds but they also discouraged early voting in 2020, so it isn't clear which party you'd expect to vote early more. The consensus seems to be that Ds should disproportionately vote early, but less than in 2020. I'd expect indies to be lower because they skew young.

Young folks procrastinate(but I expect this cycle the young vote to be big for Harris in the end)
Rs are voting generally at the same rates. Even higher in heavily red rurals. Slightly lower in Triangle and around Asheville.
