Early voting is well underway throughout the state of Michigan and in Washtenaw County.
This is the last weekend Michigan residents will be able to vote early in the February 27th presidential primary. Expanding voting options has also meant expanding staffing.
Ed Golembiewski is the director of elections for Washtenaw County and says he’s grateful for the dedication poll workers have shown throughout the new process.
“We are really fortunate that many poll workers working at early voting sites have chosen to work multiple days and even all nine days of early voting."
Golembieski says utilization of early voting has picked up as the week has gone on, but he’s not seen any lines at polling locations. The most popular sites have been those in Ann Arbor, and the Washtenaw County Central voting site.
