The general election is still over a month away, but Box Butte County Clerk Judy Messersmith says judging by the first two days of early voting, several people are showing great interest.

Messersmith says that as of noon Tuesday, 103 people had either voted, picked up ballots or requested a ballot be mailed to them.

Messersmith says early voting, either in person or by mail, is becoming a more popular and convenient way to vote, especially with this year’s election featuring a presidential race and a hotly contested U.S. Senate Race.

Scotts Bluff County Clerk Vera Delany says she is experiencing the same type of interest in her county.

This reminder, October 26 is the deadline to register to vote, or to have your name, address or party affiliation changed on your registration.
