Early voting comes to and end Friday; general election Tuesday
Early voting for the upcoming Nov. 7 election comes to an end at 5 p.m. on Friday.
Early voting is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday at four locations: Montague County Courthouse Annex, City of Bowie Community Room, Nocona Community Center and Saint Jo Civic Center.
Ginger Wall, elections administrator, said there were 335 early votes cast through Tuesday morning across the county.
On election day next Tuesday voters are reminded they can cast ballots at any voting center in Montague County, not just their specific precinct. For example if you are in Saint Jo working, but live in Bowie, you can cast a ballot in Saint Jo.
Election day voting will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the following locations: Bowie Public Library, Bowie Community Room, Nocona Community Center, Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum, Ringgold Elementary, Saint Jo Civic Center, Valley View Baptist Church, Montague County Courthouse Annex Community Room, Sunset City Hall and Forestburg Community Center.

On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
