The One Stop Early Voting Period for Watauga County begins today, Oct. 15, and will continue through Oct. 31.
Below are photos by Steve Frank that capture the line for early voting in front of the Watauga County Administration Building early this morning, where there was an approximate 30 minute wait.
The Watauga County early voting sites opened at 8 a.m. this morning.
The Appalachian’s Political Editor Moss Brennan tweeted at 9:15 a.m. that around 86 votes have been cast in the Appalachian State University Plemmons Student Union voting site since it opened.
Brennan later tweeted at 10:11 a.m. that he briefly spoke to Director of Watauga County Board of Elections Matt Snyder who said there had been no problems so far at any site and that turnout has been really good across the county.
By 1:55 p.m., Brennan tweeted an update saying around 477 people have voted in the Blue Ridge Ballroom of the Plemmons Student Union.
The early voting sites will be open until 7:30 p.m. today.
