Record breaking early voting in Wright County, still many ballots out

The Wright County Auditor’s office has been a high traffic place these last few weeks. Early in-person voting started in Iowa October 5, and according to Auditor Betty Ellis’s numbers, hundreds of voters have taken advantage of that in the county.

As of early this week, well over 300 people had voted in person at her office with several hundred more coming in to drop off ballots that had been mailed to them. In all, over 2,400 mail-in ballots have been returned to the auditor’s office one way or another.
