MADISONVILLE-It's not a major county election, but the polls for a couple of local elections and a handful of state races open on July 13 with early voting for the Aug. 2 election.

The early voting will last until July 28 and mainly be held at the Election Commission Office in Madisonville, but Monroe County Election Commission Administrator James Brown has set up four satellite dates for people who might not be able to make it to Madisonville.

"We want to make sure that everybody who wants to vote, can vote," Brown said. "We think these four dates, combined with the office in Madisonville, will do that."
