One of the biggest differences this year has been the addition of a second early voting location. Reese says having Christ Community Church (also known as C3) in the Twin Lakes Plaza as an alternative polling location has been a positive.

Early voting continues through next Monday at the Baxter County Courthouse and C3 weekdays from 8:00 until 6:00 and Saturday from 10:00 until 4:00. For anyone looking to cast an early ballot at the courthouse, Reese reminds the public there is a handicap-accessible entrance on the north side.
