 Dana Nelson, Whiteside County Clerk, announces Early Voting Requirements for the November 4, 2008 General Election. Voters can cast a ballot prior to Election day without having to offer a reason or an excuse for wanting to vote early.
Early voting will begin on Tuesday, October 14th and end on Thursday, October 30th. Voting will be conducted at the Whiteside County Courthouse, 200 E. Knox St., Morrison on Monday through Friday from 8:30 am until 4:30 pm. and on Saturdays during this time period from 9:00 until noon.There will also be early voting on a limited basis available in Sterling for all Whiteside County Precincts at the Eastern Branch Court Facility, 101 E. 3rd St., Sterling. The dates and times for voting in Sterling are: October 15, 16, 17, 22, 23 and 24 from 9:00 A.M. until 4:00 P.M. The law prohibits a person who voted during the early voting period from voting at the polls on Election Day. The votes cast during the early voting period will not be counted until after the polls close on Election Day. Since absentee voting laws remain in place, those people can still cast an absentee ballot by mail by providing a reason as required under law. For more information about early voting or voting locations, contact the County Clerk's office at 815-772-5189.
