These Candidates Forums are being held in early September because Mail-In Ballots will be arriving to those who applied for them or are getting them on a regular basis by September 24. The League of Women Voters feels that the public should be informed about the Candidates and the issues prior to voting.
Besides voting by Mail-In Ballot, there are 9 days of Early Voting (October 29-November 6) on the machines (even provisional ballots). For the sites and hours of Early Voting, please go to unioncountyvotes.com.
Election Day is November 8 at your regular voting location.
