Early voting hours extended

There will be lots of chances to vote in this year’s General Election. The last day to register to vote is Oct. 5, 2020.

County Clerk Jana Kennon said her office was petitioned by the local Democratic Party to have extended Early Voting hours. Enough signatures were obtained that new hours have been added.
