Voters today all had their reasons for voting early, and we talked with one who said it was the first time doing so.
"I've never voted any other day but election day. Today I have my daughter home on fall break, and it's her first time voting. So, I thought we'd come out and get our voting done today and have it all over with," said Joe Warnement.
The board of elections asks for your patience when early voting, as each ballot is being printed individually specifically for your voting precinct.
