If you changed your mind about voting by mail, you can vote in-person early at the county board of elections.
Here's the technical reason why: voting by mail and voting in-person early at the county board of elections are both called absentee voting. The term means you are "absent" from your polling location on Election Day, Nov. 3

You can't vote election day, except provisionally, tho. And the state website won't tell you this--but some county sites do.
