Early voting is underway and local election officials anticipate popularity to be very for this option this year.

DeWitt County Clerk Dana Smith indicates over the next six weeks leading up to the election, they will be keeping their doors open select evenings and opening up on select Saturdays.

Early voting began earlier this week. Mail-in applications are still being accepted. Late-October will be the deadline for Smith's office to mail those out and those have to be in the mail by election day, November 3.
