The Legislature has reached an agreement on extending the early voting provisions for municipal elections that had previously expired. This includes allowing any voter to vote early by mail with a local option for early voting in person and applies to both regular and special municipal elections including preliminary elections in addition to any special state primaries and elections held before December 15, 2021.
You must apply every year and when you apply, it can be for the whole year.
