There’s only a couple more days left of early voting across Hamilton County.
Through Monday, 5,739 voters cast their ballot ahead of the May 5th County Primary Election. An additional 1,012 voters requested and submitted an absentee ballot. This represents 3.12% voter turnout.
“As we enter the final days of early voting, we encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunity to cast their ballot,” explained Hamilton County Elections Administrator Scott Allen. “While turnout has been lower than expected, there is still time to make your voice heard. If you’re unable to vote early, you can vote at your designated polling place on Election Day, May 5th. Every vote counts, and we look forward to strong participation from our community.”
If you haven’t cast your ballot yet, now is the time to do so. Early voting is a convenient, secure way to ensure your voice is heard before Election Day. The last day to vote early is Thursday, April 30th.
