CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) - It is now time for the primary election in Champaign County and county officials are urging you to head to the polls. 

WAND spoke with county clerk Aaron Ammons to see how the many people had already submitted their ballots. 

"There have been about 500 people come vote in person and about 2,000 people have sent their ballots through the mail so about 2,500 people have voted so far.

There are multiple voting activist groups out there helping people register to vote as well. 

Ann Prisland with the League of Women Voters said, "Our goal is to encourage and inform the citizenry of people who understand civic issues and are interested and motivated to vote."

With voting ending on June 28th, there are still about two weeks left to cast your vote.
