Today marks two important deadlines in the 2008 general election.

It is the last day for early voting in the 2008 general election, and it is the last day to request mail-in/absentee ballots.

However, it is too late to actually send those ballots by mail. Instead, they need to be dropped off by Tuesday at the Moffat County Clerk and Recorder's Office, 221 W. Victory Way, Suite 200, in Craig.

That office also is where voters who are registered in Moffat County may go today for early voting.

After today, the only voting option will be at a vote center on Election Day, which is Tuesday.

Moffat County Vote Centers for this election will be located in Craig at Centennial Mall, 1111 W. Victory Way; in Maybell at Maybell Community Center, 103 Ellis; and in Dinosaur at Dinosaur Town Hall, 333 S. Stegosaurus.

The centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. that day.

Voters are making decisions about everything from local to state to national races, as well as 14 statewide ballot issues. The ballot is quite long, so the Moffat County Clerk and Recorder's Office staff recommends coming to either early voting or the vote center on Election Day already knowing how you plan to vote.
