The Donley County Republican Party is reminding all voters that January 31, 2022, is the deadline to register to vote in this year’s primary election on March 1.
The county party will host a Meet & Greet with the Republican candidates for county office on Thursday, February 10, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Bairfield Activity Center.
Early voting in the state primary elections will begin on February 14 and end on February 25. The deadline to apply to vote by mail is February 18.
The county positions up this year are all being sought by Republicans.
Four people are running for one position on the March Republican ballot. Sarah Hatley, Connie Lane Ashley Savage, and Kristen Taylor are running for the Justice of the Peace of Precincts 1 and 2. Incumbent JP Pam Mason resigned her office last month.
The only other competitive race on this year’s Republican ballot will be the position of Precinct 4 Commissioner Dan Sawyer, who is being challenged by Brad Dalton.
Other positions are uncontested and those candidates are Judge John Howard, Treasurer Wanda Smith, Clerk Vicky Tunnell, , Precinct 2 Commissioner Daniel Ford, and Precinct 3 & 4 Justice of the Peace Pat White.
Former Donley County deputy Randy Bond is also running for Constable of Precincts 3&4, a position that is currently vacant.
Texas Secretary of State John Scott last week encouraged all Texans to be registered to vote.
“Every year, the Secretary of State’s Office voluntarily provides voter registration applications to numerous entities, including county election offices, county clerks, public libraries, high school principals, and others,” Scott said. “This is in an effort to reach and register as many eligible Texas voters as possible and assist them in exercising their constitutional right to vote.
“While we are not legally required to do so, we do this as a courtesy to Texas voters and those organizations helping eligible Texans register to vote,” Scott said. “Don’t wait until the last minute if you haven’t already registered – get the process started today.”
