ELECTION DAY ARRIVES FOR 2020 GENERAL ELECTION

  

After seemingly an eternity, Election Day has finally arrived, and voters who have not yet cast their ballots have one last chance today (Tuesday) to do so.

Out of the 24,029 registered voters in Washington County, 12,909 turned in early in-person ballots, about 53.7 percent.  Voters can still turn in their by-mail ballots in person, but it must be the voter themselves and they must show their ID, per state law.
