While Election Day 2016 is still two months away, voting began Friday in North Carolina. The rise of early and absentee voting nationwide has changed the way American elections are conducted. This type of voting occurred in small numbers a couple of decades ago, but it has risen dramatically over the past decade.

In the 2012 election, more than a third of the overall vote was cast before Election Day and that percentage was considerably higher in key battleground states like Florida and North Carolina. But does early voting matter?
In terms of who wins, early voting makes a difference. In the past couple of presidential elections, the Democratic Party has benefited the most from early and absentee voting.
Below is the percentage of early/absentee voting in states in 2012 where it is available. The data was provided by TargetSmart and independently analyzed by the NBC News Data Analytics Lab.
