Voters statewide will be able to cast their ballot for the first time on a Saturday for the 2012 primary election.
The Legislature moved this session to add a Saturday to the early voting period, which was shortened from 45 days to 21. Early voting opened July 9 and ends July 27. Voters didn’t have the option of voting any other Saturday before the July 31 election.
