At its regular meeting of February 7, 2013, the Elkins Common Council shortened the early-voting period for the 2013 municipal election. The new early-voting period will begin Wednesday, February 20 and end Saturday, March 2. Voters who were planning to vote early are urged to review their travel plans to see if might be necessary to instead apply for a mail-in absentee ballot. (Download an application here.)

The location for early voting is in the municipal courtroom at Elkins City Hall, 401 Davis Avenue. This location is wheelchair accessible through the rear of city hall.

During the early voting period, voters may cast ballots from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on two Saturdays, February 23 and March 2.

Any eligible voters may vote during the early-voting period just as on election day; no special reason is necessary and no explanation must be given.

Election day is March 5, 2013; polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. Voter registration for this election closes on Tuesday, February 12. For more information about city elections, including the location of the polling places for each ward, click here.
