Early voting for next week’s primary elections begins Thursday and will last for three days. Secretary of State Michael Adams said non-absentee early voting rose by nearly 50 percent in the last two general elections, and he’s been encouraging candidates to push their voters to take advantage of the opportunity.
“There's two advantages to early voting. Number one, it means you don't have to wait in line if you're voting early, because you get right in and out. And number two, you also shorten the line for everybody else. So early voting helps the voters who vote early but also helps the voters who don't vote early.”
