However, people who register to vote during this time, must vote in the County Clerk’s Office at the time they register. The clerk’s Office is open Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. People who register during the “grace period” are not eligible to vote at their precinct polling place on November 6.
