NOTICE TO VOTERS ON EARLY
VOTING
In addition to the forty-five (45)
days of absentee voting by mail with or without a reason, voters
can now vote in person forty-five days before an election with no
reason. Voters may now visit the Elections and Registration office
(121 S. McDonough Street, Jonesboro) and request to vote early
without providing a reason. Voters are also encouraged to take
advantage of voting during the week of advance voting (the week
before each election) at one of our six (6) advance voting sites.
Remember, there is no voting the Monday before the election. All
absentee, early and advance voting ends the Friday before the
election.
