Polls open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.; here's what you need to know
More than 4,000 Alexandria voters have already cast ballots in the Feb. 10 special election, according to city data through Saturday.
As of Feb. 8, 1,628 voters had cast ballots in person during early voting and 2,385 had returned mail-in ballots. Another 7,002 mail-in ballots are still outstanding.
For comparison, 4,647 voters cast ballots in the Jan. 13 SD39 firehouse primary that selected Bennett-Parker as the Democratic nominee, and 2,115 voted in the Jan. 20 HD5 firehouse primary won by McPike — though firehouse primaries have limited hours and locations and are open only to party members.
The final day of early voting, Saturday, saw the highest turnout of the early voting period with 456 in-person voters.
