Voter Kris Croatt was among the first to cast her ballot at the courthouse last week, highlighting the excitement and engagement within the community. As the election date approaches, officials encourage all eligible voters to take advantage of the early voting period.
Absentee voting at the Winneshiek County Auditor’s Office provides essential flexibility for those unable to vote in person on Election Day.
