Early voting for primary runoffs May 14-18
Early voting for the May 22 party primary runoff elections will take place from May 14-18 with two locations for Montague County voters.
Ballots may be cast from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during those days at the Nocona Community Room, 807 W. U.S. Highway 82 and City of Bowie Community Room, 307 N. Mason.
Voters are required to provide a photo identification card to the poll judges.
Anyone may vote in the runoff elections, however, if you voted in the March primary you can only voted in that party’s primary. Republicans can only vote in the Republican race, and Democrats on that ticket. That specific party affiliation is retained by a voter for one year.
Clarification: The story in the mid-week paper stated you had to have voted in the primary to vote in the runoff, which is incorrect. To clarify anyone may vote in the runoff.
