About Advance Voting
A school board can pass a resolution to allow an advance vote for an election to be held. The RO is responsible for determining the date and time of the advance vote. Advance votes can’t be held within 24 hours of election day. Notice of an advance vote must be published using Form 7 at least one week before the date set for the advance vote in a newspaper or publication circulating in the area, or by mailing or delivering a notice to every residence. As long as the requirements of both notices are met, the advance vote’s notice may be included in the election day’s notice (LAEA s. 73, 74)
