INEZ — Voting in the General Election is underway in the Martin County Clerk’s Office.

Excused absentee early voting runs from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Oct. 26-28 and Oct. 31-Nov. 2.

Martin County Clerk Susie Skyles says voters who are elderly or disabled, work outside the county, attend school full-time and will not be able to vote in person on Election Day are eligible to vote during these dates.
