Your <span data-term-id=\"56936047\">county&#8217;s Supervisor of Elections<\/span> can expand this window. Some counties begin early voting on the fifteenth day before the election and keep locations open until the second day before the election.<\/p>\n<p>Each early voting location must be open for a minimum of 8 hours and a maximum of 12 hours per day.<\/p>\n<h3>Where Can You Vote Early?<\/h3>\n<p>Early voting locations and hours differ by county.
