Officials with the Board of Elections say early voting is safe and will help slow things down on Election Day. They believe moving the location will be helpful for people because it has more parking and is right along the bus route.
Board of Elections Director LaVera Scott said they have already received a large number of absentee ballot requests.
"Absentee will be up, that is reflective currently by the number of absentee by mail we've already received. We've received more than 26,000 already, so I anticipate that there will still be more added," said Scott.
