General Election is less than a month away. We are right on schedule with our preparations. Our election worker training is completed, our Early Voting supplies are organized and ready for deployment, our vote-by-mail department is steadily working to verify ballots as they arrive back in our office, and our registration department is very busy with all the registration applications that came in on or before the October 5th and 6th deadlines.
For those of you who choose to vote in person, please remember to thank those dedicated election workers who make it possible. They are the backbone of good elections!
We would like everyone to take the action needed now to ensure they are prepared for the November 3rd General Election. In the various sections, you will be able click on the appropriate link to update your voter record, request a vote-by-mail ballot, request a replacement voter information card, and/or track the status of your vote-by-mail ballot.
We encourage everyone to act now. Decide the option in which you plan to cast your ballot whether by mail, during Early Voting, or at your assigned precinct on Election Day. Map out your plan, know how to get to your precinct polling location. If you choose to vote early, find the site most convenient for you. Find out if your polling location has changed since you last voted. We make it easy for you with our direct links in this publication.
We know that a lot of information is buzzing around about this upcoming election. We are approaching our tasks with the same methodical approach we have with other elections. We have a heightened sense of awareness regarding cybersecurity and misinformation campaigns designed to create distrust in our election systems. We are working closely with our national and community partners to assure the integrity of our elections.
Our goal is to conduct a safe, secure, and accurate election. I have every confidence that we will do just that. As always, thank you for allowing me to serve as your Supervisor of Elections. If I can be of assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.
