It's time to vote early in Franconia!
Early voting for those of us in Franconia has begun at the Franconia Governmental Center:
- Monday – Friday: 1-7 p.m.
- Saturdays (Oct. 19, Oct. 26, Nov. 2): 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
- Sunday (Oct. 27): 1-5 p.m.
Did you know that when you vote early, your name is crossed off the list of people who need to be contacted for GOTV? This saves money and resources, so campaign staff and volunteers can focus on the people who really need to hear from us.
