Early Voting

When is Early Voting?

Early voting, also referred to as 'one-stop voting,' begins the third Thursday before and ends the Saturday before Election Day.

Please check back for information regarding the 2022 Mid-Term Primary Elections One-Stop period.

Conveniences of Early Voting

During this period, voters are able to vote at any participating early voting location in the county in which they are registered. Please check back for specific locations as elections approach.
Individuals are able to register to vote when they plan to vote. Proof of residence is required. More information regarding Same Day Registration can be found here.
Polling locations serve as a drop-off for absentee ballots. If you do not wish to mail your ballot, you may return it to a one-stop location and it will securely be delivered to the Board of Elections on your behalf.
Due to the length of this period, polling locations may be less busy than on Election Day.
