Voters line up to cast their ballots at The Church at Brook Hills on Election Day, Nov. 5, 2024, in Birmingham, Ala. Meanwhile, heavy snow is forecast in the Rockies from Montana down to Colorado and winter weather alerts have been issued in those regions.

Rain or shine, research shows that temperatures, along with rain and snow can impact voter turnout, and to some degree, who people vote for. The warmer it is, the more people vote, an analysis published in the journal Frontiers of Psychology. The research found that warmer temperatures lead to a higher voter turnout.
