Submitted Photo Voters cast their ballots at an early voting site at the Chautauqua County Fairgrounds in Dunkirk.
Early voting begins Saturday for the 2025 elections.
The locations are as follows:
– The Chautauqua County Fairgrounds at the 4-H Bldg./Ag & Expo Center, 1089 Central Ave. Dunkirk.
– The Chautauqua Mall (through the Main Entrance), 318 E Fairmount Ave. Lakewood. The location within the Mall will be the old Rue21, close to JCPenney.
– The Robert H. Jackson Center, 305 E 4th St. Jamestown.
– Board of Elections Office, 7 N. Erie St. Mayville.
Each location will have signage that will indicate the entrances to the poll site. All registered voters in Chautauqua County are able to visit any one of these four early voting poll sites to cast their ballot early.
All four sites will be open for the same hours: Saturdays and Sundays are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday and Tuesday are noon to 8 p.m. and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Early voting runs for nine days, ending on Nov. 2, with the General Election taking place Nov. 4.
Early voting is not available on Monday, November 3.
All Early Voting sites are handicap accessible and do provide a Ballot Marking Device for voters with disabilities.
Voters who cast their ballot early will not be able to cast a ballot during subsequent Early Voting days or on Election Day. If you request an Absentee Ballot, recent law changes will prevent you from casting your ballot using the voting machine during Early Voting or on Election Day, those voters will only be able to vote a Provisional Affidavit Ballot. Affidavit ballots can be counted and added to the election totals if you have not already returned your Absentee Ballot.
