Early voting going smoothly

Voting for next week’s presidential primary election appears to be going smoothly locally and statewide.

For the first time since the passage of a new voting rights act in 2022, Michigan residents have the opportunity to cast their vote early and in person for nine consecutive days before the presidential primary election day, which began Saturday and continue through Sunday, Feb. 25. Voters can also vote in person on election day.

“By the end of the day Tuesday, over 100 people had voted at the county building,” county Clerk Michelle Crocker said.
