The August primary election is quickly approaching and people can now exercise their rights in a variety of different ways: absentee, early, in-person and same-day registration voting.

With the primary election happening on Tuesday, Aug. 6 and the general election happening on Tuesday, Nov. 5, it’s important that voters are aware of the options that are available to cast ballots.
