hall, public library, fairground, civic center, courthouse, county commission building, stadium,
convention center, government -owned senior center, or government -owned community center;
and
• The supervisor of elections shall designate each early voting site by no later than the 30th
day prior to tn election and shall designate an early voting area at each early voting site; and

vote.
