SAN ANGELO You could hear the sound of an I voted pin drop in the hallways of the Edd B. and Frances Frink Keyes building on Tuesday evening had there been anyone around to drop one as early voting in San Angelo came to a close.
The corridors were empty of all but election staff at about 7 p.m., Tuesday, April 27, 2021, a stark contrast to the long lines of registered voters who cast ballots during early voting for the November 2020 U.S. presidential election. I wish we certainly had more voters coming out, Election administrator Vona Hudson said.
First day of in-person early voting: Monday, April 19
Last day to return application for ballot by mail: 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 20. Applications are only valid for a calendar year and need to be resubmitted each year. Once early voting begins, the application cannot be delivered in person and only the applicant can deliver their application. Voters are reminded they are able to deliver a voted ballot by mail to the election office for counting only on Election Day. It must be the voter themselves surrendering the ballot and they must show a photo ID.
