Early voting underway for Indiana primary

Taken.

The indiana primary election is right around the corner..

And some voters are choosing to vote early this year.

In tonight's election alert..

News 10's jada huddlestun shares why some chose this option.

Early voting is underway..

And the vigo county annex is just one of eight locations voters are making their way to to cast their ballots.

I spoke with some voters who share why they chose to vote early.

Kathy clayton was one of many voters who headed out to the polls on tuesday.

She says voting early keeps her from standing in line..

And it's an easy option.

"there's nothing intimidating about it.

They give you a little stylus that looks like a crayola.

That's what you use to punch the screen with instead of your finger tip.

Very easy."

This election is a little different than previous years.

All poll workers will be wearing masks.

Voters..

Are encouraged to do the same.

Voting machines are spaced out to practice social distancing.

Clayton says she's glad so many are taking precuations to keep everyone safe.

"i have underlying health problems, so whether or not anyone else wants to wear one that's their perogative, but to protect myself i want to wear one."

Clayton isn't the only one taking advantage of the option to early vote..

"i wanna vote, because i get in here early then i don't have to mess with the crowds."

Harold ellinger says he votes early every year.

At the end of the day..

Voters say it's all about making your voice heard.

"i'd rather vote.

I don't want someone else making decisions for me.

Whether or not me people win, or not, it's that i came out and i voted."

There are eight voting centers located across the county.
