How to vote early or in-person:

If you’ve received a ballot in the mail, you can bring it to an early voting site and vote in person. You may also vote in-person without your mail ballot, but you may be asked to fill out a “provisional ballot.” These ballots are still counted, after proper research is done to make sure the vote was legally cast.
