According to Ballotpedia:
Election officials must process absentee/mail-in ballots before counting them. Processing generally includes verifying voter signatures and physically preparing ballots for counting. Processing practices can vary widely from state to state.
-In 12 states, statutes or 2020-specific orders allow for absentee/mail-in counting to begin before Election Day.
Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Iowa, Florida, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Vermont
-In nine states, statutes either do not specify when ballot counting can begin or leave the decision to the discretion of local officials.
Connecticut, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Utah.
-The remaining states and the District of Columbia allow ballot counting to begin either during the day on election day or after polls close.
