43 percent of county voters cast early ballots
More than seven million Americans have voted during the opening weeks of early voting for the Nov. 3 general election. That is 43 percent of the nation’s registered voters and more than 80 percent of the total turnout four years ago.
With only three days left in early voting Montague County voters have been riding that same wave with 6,056 ballots cast as of Tuesday morning. This surpasses the 5,944 who voted early in 2016. Elections Administrator Ginger Wall said this is 43 percent of the total registered voters in the county.
As election day nears, Wall reminds those who requested mail-in ballots they can deliver their ballots by hand to her office in the courthouse annex before 5 p.m. on election day.
Wall said there were 630 ballots requested along with 20 requested for those serving in the military or out of the country on election day.
Balloting for early voting will continue through 5 p.m. Friday at the four locations.
