The popularity of early voting has grown steadily over the years and
in the presidential election in 2010 there were more than 65,000
residents who used early voting to cast their ballot. Board of
Elections Director Michael Dickerson hopes to have 40% of voters use
the early voting option to make tallying the vote on election night
quicker and easier.
