Good said early voting in Natrona County is on track to surpass the 8,100 early ballots cast in the 2020 general election.

On Friday afternoon, Good said there had been about 7,500 in-person ballots cast since early voting began on Oct 8. Another 3,850 ballots have been mailed in. Good estimated that there were about 29,700 registered voters in the county.

She estimated there could be 800 more in-person voters on Monday in addition to however many come in before 5 p.m. Friday.

The last day for early voting is Monday. On Tuesday, people must go to their polling locations between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. or drop off the completed ballots they’ve already gotten at the courthouse by 7 p.m.

People can get a look at how their ballots will appear, as well as their polling location, by entering their address on the clerk’s government website.
