Yes! If we have not yet cast your Absentee Ballot on the day of the election, then you can vote in person. Absentee Ballots are typically cast starting at about 1:00 pm the day of the election. Once your absentee ballot is cast, you will not be allowed to vote in person at the polls.
If you never mailed or dropped off your absentee ballot, then you can vote in person at the polls, as your vote will not be cast otherwise.
