Voters in Donley County and across the United States will go to polls next Tuesday, November 5, to decide national, state, and local elections.
In addition to voting for president and one of Texas’ US Senate seats, local voters will be casting ballots on several state offices with contested races, and voters in the Hedley school district will decide the fate of a proposed 12-cent tax increase.
Donley County Sheriff Butch Blackburn, County Attorney Landon Lambert, County Tax Assessor-Collector Kristy Christopher, and Pct. 3&4 Constable Randy Bond are the only local positions on the ballot and are all unopposed. Likewise, US Rep. Ronny Jackson and State Rep. Ken King, both of whom represent Donley County, are unopposed.
Local balloting will be held from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday with all local voters except Precinct Box 303 voting at the Donley County Courthouse in Clarendon. Box 303 will vote at the Hedley First Baptist Church.
Many people have taken advantage of early voting this year. County officials said late Tuesday that 1,060 people had already cast ballots early. Early voting by personal appearance continues at the Donley County Courthouse Annex each weekday this week through Friday, November 1, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The Enterprise will have local election results next Tuesday night on ClarendonLive.com and Facebook.com/TheEnterprise. Election returns will also be printed in the November 14 edition of the paper.
