Adams County Courthouse open Saturday for voting as election day nears

QUINCY – Adams County Clerk Ryan A. Niekamp has announced that the County Clerk’s Office will be open for early voting on Saturday, March 29.

“Early voting is quick and convenient, and this election focuses on our local community boards,” said County Clerk Ryan A. Niekamp. “Voters will be selecting representatives for school boards, community college, city and village mayors, park boards, road commissioners, and many more.”

Niekamp said he anticipates turnout on Tuesday, April 1 to be between 20 and 25 percent. In the consolidated election four years ago, turnout was 24.96 percent. Adams County has about 44,300 registered voters, with Quincy having 23,500 of those.

Niekamp also reminds voters who have requested a vote-by-mail ballot to ensure it is postmarked by April 1 or dropped off at the County Clerk’s drop box by 7:00 PM on Election Day to be counted.

The last day for early voting is Monday, March 31 from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Election Day is April 1, 2025.
