PINEVILLE -

With election day just over 2-weeks away, people are hitting the polls to cast their ballot early.

About 36 folks showed up to the Wyoming County Court House to vote this afternoon.

County Clerk Michael Goode said early voting is convenient for voters and also makes the Election Day easier for his staff.

"The more people that vote on early election it does kind of speed things up on election day and helps us get the election results our a little quicker and our results will be real time and online," County Clerk Michael Goode said.

Goode said people can keep track of the election race on the County's web site and the results will be projected in the Wyoming County Court House for the public to see.

Remember early voting runs until Saturday May 5th.
