Early Voting Begins Wednesday

   The early voting period for the Lawrence County General Election as well as the Presidential Preference Primary get underway Wednesday through the local election commission.

   Lawrence County Administrator of Elections June Davis has announced that the early voting period for the February 5 election will begin Wednesday, January 16, 2008, and continue through Thursday, January 31, 2008.

   Those wishing to participate in early voting will have the option of casting votes at three different locations in the county. As is the norm, early voting will be held inside the Office of the Election Commission, 225 Centennial Boulevard. Two satellite sites, however, have been established for this year’s vote.

   Davis points out that any voter may vote at any of the three polling locations during the early voting period.

   Voters may cast votes for their choice in the Democrat or Republican Presidential Primary. The only county office that appears on the ballot this year is that of Assessor of Property. That post is currently held by Barbara Kizer, who is running unopposed.

   Information regarding each of the three voting locations is as follows:

*Lawrence County Election Commission, 225 Centennial Boulevard, Lawrenceburg – Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Saturdays 8:00 a.m. until noon. Closed 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. for lunch.

   Those participating in early voting are reminded to bring along their voter registration cards in order to speed up the process. Also, Davis reminds residents that the election commission office will be closed Monday, January 21, 2008, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr., Day.
