Early Voting Changes RecommendedOctober 24, 2012 | Audrey FanninState elections executive director, Gary Bartlett, sent a memo to directors in all 100 counties Tuesday, urging them to consider changes that will make voting more efficient and alleviate waits as long as two hours at some locations. More than 600,000 people had voted statewide as of Monday and the total is likely to exceed two million before in-person early voting ends Nov. 3.
Bartlett's memo said county boards should consider extending early voting times and adding weekend days, decisions which would require unanimous approval by a local board. Bartlett also said counties should consider redistributing voting booths and handing out sample ballots to people in line.
