The Monroe County Board of Elections is relaying important information for the upcoming election.
"This cycle will be the very first time that the Board of Elections will be testing, if you will, a robocall," said Jackie Ortiz, Democratic commissioner of the Monroe County BOE. "We wanted to make sure that we told all of you that because there has been a lot of information out there regarding false information or robocalls [and] robo-text messages. And because we are trying this for the very first time, we want to make sure that people understand that it is us, it is the Board of Elections."
Also for the first time, every registered voter in the county, except those who are voting absentee, will receive a postcard from the board in the coming days.
Those postcards will include information on your polling location for Election Day on Nov. 5, along with early voting information. The start of early voting is just about three weeks away, on Oct. 26.
There will be 17 early voting locations across the county, which is the most ever for Monroe County.
