          Not sure about voting in-person due to COVID-19?
        Martin County voters are no longer waiting until
        Election Day to cast their vote. On an average, 40
        percent of our voters are choosing to vote by mail. As
        voters continue to embrace voting by mail, Election
        Day turnout at the polling precincts will continue to
        decline.
