“Early Voting” is in-person absentee voting. Early voting provides an all-purpose solution for those seeking to:
• Avoid potential voting delays on election day;
• Vote on convenient days and during non-working hours;
• Avoid any registration conflict that could trigger the necessity of a provisional ballot on election day;
• Update their voter records in their county of registration if they have moved since last voting; or
• Register to vote if not registered in the county (must provide proof of residence).
