SCHEDULE
One-Stop voting
One-Stop Absentee Early Voting (commonly known as "early voting") allows any registered voter to cast their ballot in person on select days prior to Election Day. This shouldn’t be confused with Absentee By Mail voting. One-stop (Early Voting) is considered "Absentee" because any vote not cast on Election Day is referred to as "Absentee Voting". Any Haywood County registered voter can vote One-Stop (Early Voting) at our Early Voting sites. The purpose of Early Voting is to provide a convenient way for citizens to cast their ballot in person, who otherwise may not be able to make it to their regular polling location on Election Day.
For the 2021 Municipal Elections, 1 early voting locations will be open. Any registered voter in Haywood County, who lives within the town limits of Canton, Clyde, or Maggie Valley, can cast their vote early, in-person at the following location...
Haywood County Senior Resouce Center located at 81 ELMWOOD WAY in Waynesville in the building next to our office. Driving Directions.
