The Rockford Board of Elections main office, 301 S. Sixth St., is the only location available for early voting.
Since Thursday, 28 individuals cast ballots at the office, and the office has mailed out 40 ballots to city residents.
With only the 5th, 7th and 11th wards having contested Democratic races and the 12th ward having a contested Republican race for alderperson, Bixby said she doesn t expect the turnout to be substantial. The percentage is always pretty low in primary elections, and I think that we will get busier as we get closer to the actual election day, she said. Do I expect to be extremely busy? No.
