Board of Elections to resume use of front entrance for early voting; curbside options reiterated
Summary
Elections staff told commissioners they will resume using the main front entrance for early voting and regular office hours rather than a temporary side entrance; staff reminded residents that curbside voting and assistance are available for voters with mobility needs.
Elections staff informed the board that after using a side entrance during a high‑turnout period, the office will resume the main front entrance for early voting and regular office hours.
Staff said the side entrance had been used previously to manage long lines safely when the conference room was unavailable; during heavy turnout they directed traffic to enter by the side door and exit the front door to create flow. Returning to the main entrance is planned for upcoming operations, but staff will place a smaller directional sign in the hallway rather than a large A‑frame sign that some offices found intrusive.
Elections officials emphasized that curbside voting remains available to any voter with mobility issues: voters may call the office to request a bipartisan team to bring a ballot to them, and staff said they will publicize that option. Commissioners asked staff to ensure clear signage and communication so voters with disabilities are not inconvenienced by door changes.
