Early voting is up in Marion County over the last municipal elections.

According to the Marion County Clerk’s office, a total 5,467 voters visited an early voting site and cast a ballot this  weekend.  This is an increase over the first two weekends of early voting in the 2019 Municipal General Election.   So far, there have been more than 7700 early votes cast.   There were less than 4,800 at this same time back in the 2019 election.
