General election early voting starts

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — You can now cast a ballot in the 2010 general election. Early voting started Monday.

If you're registered and cannot wait until Nov. 2, stop by a Division of Elections Office for a ballot.

Offices in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Nome, and Wasilla all have them on hand and they're open during business hours Monday through Friday and during the weekend before the election.

“First day we were busy. We had people before we were even ready to open. Eight o’clock they started coming in and they've been continually coming in,” said Julie Hussman, Division of Elections.

If you'd like to receive a ballot through the mail, you still have time to apply. The deadline is Oct. 23.
