Early polls opened today for the Nov. 8 election.
Five early polls are open. Any registered voter may cast a ballot at any one stop poll in the county, regardless of where the voter is registered. People who are not registered to vote may do so at one stop sites and cast a provisional ballot, but registration will not be allowed on Election Day.
For the first time, polls will be open on a Sunday for this year’s elections. Hours for all one stop locations are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. until 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, Oct. 23, 1-5 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 5, 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
