Early voting is underway in Leon County ahead of the November 4^th general election, and Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho says it's going smoothly so far.

“All seven locations have been up and running now for the better part of two days,” said Sancho. “On Monday, we had over 1,900 voters vote, and right now, we’re well on the way to match that pace.”

Sancho adds mail balloting is also continuing at the same time as in-person early voting.

“Mail-in ballots, by the way, can continue to be requested from our office through Wednesday, October 29^th. I can tell you, Monday, we received over 500 ballots from voters, and we mailed out another 30,” added Sancho.

Early voting—which began Monday—will continue through November 1^st.
