Early voters want to avoid lines at polling places
YOUNGSTOWN — There still plenty of time to cast a ballot for the May 6 primary, but some people took the opportunity to vote early to, as they described it, get it out of the way.
Today is the first day in Ohio for those wanting to vote in-person at county board of elections as well as the first day boards can mail out absentee ballots to those who requested them.
Thomas and Elenora Sipp of Youngstown were among the first to vote today at the Mahoning County Board of Elections.
“We’re just trying to get it over with so we don’t have to stand in line at our polling place,” she said. “It’s a convenience. We can do it at home through the mail, but we like to come here to vote.”
