 Absentee ballots are now available to eligible voters in Crowan County who want to cast a ballot prior to election day on November 8th. Crowan County has 40,000 voters. Because of the population difference during the fall and winter months, Crowan County's estimating that 10 to 15,000 of those voters will be sending absentee ballots this year. To better accommodate those travelers, Crowan County gives voters several voting options. There are several options available to voters. They can come in person to their local county office here at the courthouse. We're open Monday through Friday from 8 to 5 and they can vote in person here. They can fill out their application, receive their ballot, cast their ballot and leave their ballot here with us. Or they can also choose to have a ballot sent to their residents where they can vote in the privacy of their own home. Voters who want to find out more about absentee ballot applications can visit the county's website.
