In Moldova, the presidential election looms on October 20, 2024, with incumbent Maia Sandu advocating for EU integration. She faces ten opponents, many pushing for closer ties to Russia. A referendum on EU membership seeks to engage voters, particularly the diaspora.

Opposition candidate Alexandr Stoianoglo attracts an older audience. He promises economic development and a neutral foreign policy, contrasting with Sandu's pro-EU vision. His message resonates with constituents worried about their security and economic future.

In Pennsylvania, Republican mail-in ballot returns show a significant shift, with a swing of 11 points favoring the party since 2020. The Pennsylvania Chase initiative works to boost mail-in requests among low-propensity Republican voters. As of now, Republicans report 215,000 mail-in returns, up by 90,000, while Democrats have seen a decline. This effort is crucial for securing Pennsylvania's electoral votes.
