With just three weeks remaining until the 2018 general elections, Vermilion County’s early voting numbers are less than a third of the last midterm election.
Lindsay Light, the county’s supervisor of elections and chief deputy county clerk, said 228 voters cast their ballots early this year, down from 960 in 2014.
Although her data doesn’t separate the number of people who voted three weeks ahead of the election, she did report that 2,898 voted during the 2016 presidential election cycle.
A final tally will be available after 7 p.m. on election night, she said.
Early voting across Illinois started Sept. 27 and will go through Nov. 5, the day before the election.
