Early voting is the process which allows voters to cast their vote by mail or in person prior to an election. The goal of early voting is to increase participation and relieve congestion at polling places on Election Day.

The candidates for At-Large District 6 are Robert Shepard and Vera McKissic. Candidates for At-Large District 7 are Michael Glaspie and Jimmy Bennett.
