Early voting on the rise in Vermont
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos says early voting is on the rise and a record number of people have registered to vote for the Nov. 8 election.
While some states allow early voting within two or three weeks of election day, in Vermont, a person has 45 days to cast an early ballot.
Vermont Public Radio reports Condos says that for the past three weeks, roughly 2,000 people a day have been voting early. He said if this pace keeps up, a record number of people will be voting early this year and the total number of early votes could represent around 25 percent of all ballots cast on Election Day.
