Here's' the full list of voting locations and hours.
According to election officials, early voting numbers show a spike in mail-in ballot returns for the 2023 municipal election. While early, in-person vote totals come in at 3,955, mail ballots cast so far total 37,890, the data show.
At this time during the 2019 election, early, in-person voting totaled 2,452, with only 615 mail in ballots cast.
All early voting locations contain secure drop-boxes for voters to drop-off their mail-in ballots, officials say.
Those who have not signed up to receive a vote-by-mail ballot have until Feb. 23 to request one.
