With the elections getting closer, it’s important to remember to get to the polls on November 2nd, however, there is early voting available this year as well. Marion County Republican Chairperson Irene Blom says that early voting will be taking place on October 19th at the American Legion in Pella located on Broadway street from 9a-3p. Blom says she strongly encourages early voting because it helps cut down traffic at the polls in November.
