EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The El Paso County Elections Department is working with the Sheriff’s Office and other local law enforcement agencies to monitor polling locations during early voting.
Early voting kicked off on Monday, Oct. 21 and lasts through Friday, Nov. 1. Election Day is Nov. 5.
“Each deputy has four or five locations and they’re basically just going place to place checking throughout the day. This offers us some protection on that side of it. But also if there is an issue, we’re able to get to the location quickly because we have somebody in the area,” said Lisa Wise, County election administrator said.
