Extended Hours
Extended hours are offered on the last day of Early Voting to reduce crowding and enable more voters the opportunity to cast their ballot.
Curbside Voting
If a voter is physically unable to enter the voting location without assistance or likelihood of injury to his or her health, they may ask that an election worker bring a voting unit during Early Voting or Election Day to their car at the entrance of the voting location. All curbside voters will be allowed the same privacy as a voter at the voting booth.
