Early voting starts today for Nov. 4 general election

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, October 8, 2014

The time has finally come - early voting starts today. You can now cast your ballot in the 2014 General Election.

There are the three options for casting your ballot:
• Vote by mail: If you are registered to vote, you have already received an absentee application from the Secretary of State's office in the mail. You can also print the application from the Secretary's website. Once you've completed it, return it to your local county board of elections, and an absentee ballot will be sent to your house. After you vote, you can either return the ballot by mail (must be postmarked by Nov. 3), or drop it off at the county board of elections.
