(CNN) More than 3 million general election ballots have been cast with less than a month before Election Day , according to a CNN and Edison Research survey of election officials in 26 states reporting voting data. Ballots returned have exceeded 2 million in 10 of CNN's most competitive-rated states . Republicans, meanwhile, make up over 30% of registered voters but only account for about 17% of ballots returned so far. Nationwide, more than 32 million ballot requests have been made -- primarily for mail-in ballots -- in the 37 states currently reporting. At least 5 million ballots in two critical states, Ohio and Arizona, begin to go out Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.
