Early Voting in St. Charles County Continues Thursday Following Order to Appear in Court

Oct. 30, 2024

The St. Charles County Election Authority will continue with early no-excuse absentee voting as scheduled Thursday, Oct. 31. The Election Authority office was made aware late Wednesday of an attempt to obtain a temporary restraining order on early voting in the county, with an order to appear for a court hearing Friday, Nov. 1.

"We will follow any court order that may or may not result from the hearing on Friday," says Kurt Bahr, St. Charles County Director of Elections. "There is no injunction to stop early voting at this time, so our voting locations will be opened as originally planned Thursday."
