McDonough County Clerk Gretchen DeJaynes said voters were at her office when the doors opened at 8:00 am for the first day of early voting on October 22.
DeJaynes said early voting should help ease the rush on election day (November 6).
“I do not think we will have lines for election day. Really the only places that we have ever had lines are in the college precincts and early voting at the university has cured that problem,” DeJaynes said.
