Early voting gets under way today for the August general election with a large ballot awaiting voters at the polls.“We want to be busy,” Election Administrator Donna Smith declared following what was a disappointing turnout for the local primary elections this spring. “And, this time we will be open three Saturdays.”Early voting will continue in the early voting room behind the county government building on Locust Street through Aug. 2. Those who do not choose the early voting option can vote when the polls open around the county on Aug. 7.
