New Early Voting Starts Next Week In Montgomery County

You’ll have many more opportunities to “go to the polls” this election season. When you receive your sample Primary Election Ballot in the mail, don’t leave it in the pile until Election Day. Now you can go to certain polling locations and vote before Election Day.

Early Voting Centers will be open from Friday, September 3 to Thursday, September 9, 2010 excluding Sunday. This means you can vote on Labor Day! The polls will be open from 10 AM – 8 PM.

Early voting has increased participation in other states. You can find a more convenient time to cast your ballot. With several days to choose from, you needn’t worry about last minute problems, Metro delays, or sickness. You can easily make voting fit your schedule.
