Summary
Nancy, the county clerk, said the office logged approximately 313 early voters and estimated roughly 50% of vote‑by‑mail ballots returned with early voting continuing through Monday; the office will review mail‑ballot trends after the election.
Nancy, Lee County Clerk, updated the committee on election operations. She said early voting continues through Monday at 4:15 p.m. and that the office will also be open this Saturday for early voting.
She reported approximately 313 early voters to date and estimated that roughly 50% of vote‑by‑mail ballots have been returned so far, noting that ballots often continue to arrive in the days after election day. Nancy observed that being open for six weeks for early voting increases operational costs and said the office will analyze mail‑ballot return trends after the election to inform future planning.
Next steps: The clerk’s office will continue early voting through the scheduled end date and will evaluate vote‑by‑mail return rates in internal follow-up work.
