Lisa Dedden Cooper from AARP explained the importance of having information about voting so you can vote safely. You can vote by mail, vote in person on November 3rd, or vote early at your local clerk’s office. If you requested and received your absentee ballot, but rather vote early at your local’s clerks office, you can surrender your absentee ballot before you vote. If you’ve already voted but want to change something on your ballot, you can talk to your local clerk’s office about “spoiling” your ballot.
