In Putnam County the only place for early voting will be the Board of Elections at 25 Old Route 6 in Carmel. Next year, the Board of Elections has promised to have an early voting site on the west side of the county.
The nine days of early voting plus Election Day means everyone who is eligible should be able to vote. As the advertisement goes, “Just do it!”
