PLAN YOUR VOTE: Early in-person voting

October 1, 2020 by Ross Musick / voting

Voting early in-person is a great way to stay safe during this election season and still make sure your vote counts. Early in-person voting is similar to voting on election day, but you can go to your County Board of Elections location and do it in the weeks before the election. Voting early in-person can help avoid the large crowds expected at polling places on Election Day. 

To vote early in-person for the November election, simply visit your county’s board of elections during the hours listed below. You will need to have identification with you, like an unexpired drivers license or government-issued ID; or a current utility bill, bank statement, or paycheck that match the address on your registration.
