Early Voting now open for the March 3 primary

Early voting is happening now for the March 3 primary and runs from Thursday, Feb. 13, through Saturday, Feb. 29.

Early voting sites are open 8 a.m.-7:30 p.m. on weekdays and from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturdays. All sites are closed on Sundays. For a list of all 11 early voting sites, click here.

No ID is required to vote in the primary. Same Day Registration is available, which allows residents to register and cast a vote on site, but does require proof of residence.

Voters will use paper ballots for both early voting and on primary day. Voters with disabilities will have access to an ADA compatible ExpressVote ballot-marking device that produces paper ballots at all sites.

Voters can also request an absentee by mail ballot. Completed and signed mail-in absentee ballots must be received by 5 p.m. on the Tuesday before the election (which is Feb. 25 for the primary).

Voters can find information on their registration, voting history, their polling place on election day, and view their sample ballot here.
