Eatonville will open its Town Hall on Kennedy Boulevard for early voting.

The city is honored to offer the opportunity for residents.

“Being an early voting site brings in the fact that you don’t have to find a ride to the polls; you can walk to the voting site,” said Eatonville Mayor Angie Gardner.
