Early voting starts on next Tuesday

Early voting in the 2020 elections begins next Tuesday, October 13, and local officials are already seeing a lot of interest from the voters.

Donley County Tax Assessor Collector Linda Crump reports that 349 new registered voters have been added to the rolls locally for a total of 2,325 people who are eligible to cast ballots.

The Donley County Clerk’s office also reports increased interest in absentee ballots and says October 23 is the last day to request an absentee ballot.

The clerk’s office says people who plan vote absentee need to expect to get multiple ballots since there are local elections being held in addition to the General Election. Clarendon College, Clarendon CISD, and the City of Howardwick are all holding local board elections at the same time.
