Early voting runs from now until May 4.

Monroe County is turning out to vote early in numbers outpacing past early voting levels in primary midterm elections.

As of April 27, 2,848 early votes were cast in Monroe County. That’s more than 1.5 times the number who voted early at this point during the 2022 cycle.

Early voting began 28 days prior to the election and will end at noon the day before the election. An average of 178 votes have been cast each day of early voting this year.

Monroe County has a data dashboard updated nightly with early voting totals and historical early voting data.

Over 90,000 people are registered to vote in Monroe County. A total of 3,433 early votes were cast during the 2022 midterm primary.

All early voting takes place at the Monroe County government center on Morton Street. Voters will need to present a government-issued photo ID when casting a ballot.

The primary election is on May 5.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
