The UK has mail-in voting, which is necessarily early voting. I'm against it; you can't be sure that the voter wasn't coerced if they didn't vote in person. You need mail-in voting in specific cases, such as soldiers and diplomats serving overseas.
But in general, I don't think it should be allowed to cast a ballot before the hustings are over. Voters can't be compelled to listen to political arguments; but it should be at least possible for a voter to know, for example, that their favoured candidate was convicted of rape the day before the election.
