CoastTV News caught up with one couple who explained why early voting is their preferred choice.
"We really wanted to come because it's important for our voices to be heard, and if anything comes up on September 10th, then we don't get to the poll. This way, it's done" Stina and Joe Pillion said. "We can sit back, relax, and just have a big party on September 10th when all the polls come back."
The Delaware Primary Election will be held on Sept. 10 for in-person voting.
