Election officials urging voters to take advantage of early voting

McCOOK, Neb. --- The Red Willow County Clerk is urging voters who are concerned about the pandemic to take advantage of early voting.

Every registered voter in the county will receive an early ballot application this week, and voters are urged to complete it and mail it back or place it in the drop box next to the front door of the courthouse, Norris and E in McCook.

Ballots will be mailed beginning Sept. 28, and voters are urged to complete them and return as early as possible.

"If you have concerns that the postal service won't get your ballot back to this office in time, we will have drop boxes at the courthouse and around the county that will be checked daily," according to a release.

Consolidated polling places will be open on election day, and information about their locations will be released in time for the Nov. 3 general election.
