Donley County Commissioners acted on two petitions Monday calling for county election on alcohol sales and a special election to fill vacancies on the Clarendon Board of Aldermen.
The Commissioners’ Court first considered a petition with 547 verified signatures and voted 3-0-1 to order a Local Option Election to legalize the sale of all alcoholic beverages in the county, including mixed drinks. Judge Jack Hall and Commissioners Dan Sawyer and Andy Wheatly voted to accept the petition and order the election. Commissioner Donnie Hall abstained, and Commissioner Mark White was absent.
The court then considered the petition of 35 legal voters in the City of Clarendon asking the county to adopt a resolution ordering a special election, and the court voted 4-0 to accept that petition and order the election.
Both elections will be held Tuesday, November 5, 2013. Voters must be registered by October 5 to be eligible to vote.
