(CNN) -

There is still 16 days to go until US presidential election day and more than 27 million votes have already been cast, according to a poll of election officials by CNN, Edison Research and Catalist.

Voters in all 45 states and the District of Columbia who make pre-Election Day data available are already setting records.

The votes cast so far represent nearly 20% of the more than 136 million votes cast in the 2016 presidential election.

Some of the voter information comes from Catalist, a company that provides data, analytics, and other services to Democrats, academics, and nonprofits who advocate on issues of concern.

And it offers new insights into who votes before November.

The first in-person voters in Georgia have already cast more than 1,450,000 ballots as of Sunday afternoon.

That's 152% more than in 2016, when 578,147 votes were cast during the same period.

As of Friday, ballots are available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Voting in person will begin on a list of critical undecided states in the coming days.

Nevada opened early voting in person on Saturday with more than 17,800 voters casting their votes in Clark County, which is home to Las Vegas.

A polling place in North Las Vegas opened two hours late due to a "hardware problem," Clark County spokesman Dan Kulin told CNN.

The problem created long lines that circulated on social media.

But it was the only one reported by the county as 48 in-person voting sites opened on the first day.

Attention shifts to Florida on Monday, when 52 of the state's 67 counties begin voting early, including in critical counties like Broward, Duval, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach.

All counties begin early voting no later than October 24.

It's pretty clear that President Donald Trump has very few paths to the White House without winning that status.

It is possible, but it is not really realistic.

: Analyst assures that the Hispanic voter in Florida is different from other states

So far, in Florida, more than 2.4 million ballots have been cast by mail, which is approximately 261,000 fewer ballots than all the vote-by-mail ballots cast in 2016. Of the 2.4 million ballots received in so far this year, 30% are registered Republicans, 49% are Democrats and 20% are nonpartisan.

And while Democrats still outnumber Republicans in the state by roughly 134,000 registered voters, their lead has shrunk significantly in recent years.

In 2016, that gap was more than 327,000 and, in 2012, more than 535,000.

As for registered voters by race, this time around 61.5% are white, 17.3% are Hispanic, and 13.4% are black.

In 2016, the breakdown was 64.2% White, 15.7% Hispanic, and 13.4% Black.

In Wisconsin, early voting begins Tuesday.

The state played a central role in Trump's victory in 2016, with rural and working-class voters leading the pushback from Democrats throughout the Upper Midwest.

Yet four years later, the state remains a key battleground, but one in which Trump lags behind in the most recent polls.

Here's the full rundown of where voting will expand across the country in the coming days, plus some deadlines.
