BUFFALO, N.Y. — According to the Erie County Board of Elections, more than 1,000 ballots were cast on the fifth day of early voting for the June 22 primary elections.
To be exact, 1,003 ballots were cast on Wednesday, bringing the five-day total to 4,454 ballots.
Early voting runs through Sunday for the New York State primary. Sites will be open from noon until 6 p.m. on weekends and from noon to 9 p.m. on weekdays.
