Additional Information

  • All Early Voting locations will have voting instructions, a Notice to Voter document, and a Bill of Rights. 
  • Election Inspectors are available at all sites to provide assistance to voters.
  • Affidavits (provisional ballots) available on Election Day are also available at Early Voting centers to make sure everyone can complete a ballot even if for some reason they were not in our files.
