Winter weather messes up early voting for House 68
This winter weather is causing havoc for early voting in the runoff election for Texas House District 68. With only a four-day window for early voting Feb. 16-19 many voters may have to wait until election day on Feb. 23.
Elections Administrator Ginger Wall said on Tuesday only the Montague location was open for early voting and depending on weather it may not be open on Wednesday. She suggests calling the election office at 894-2540 before traveling to center.
The other voting centers had been set up at the Nocona Community Center, Bible Baptist Church and Saint Jo Civic Center. They were scheduled to be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the early voting period.
Voters across the 22-county district will choose between David Spiller, Jacksboro attorney and Craig Carter, Nocona and Metroplex area businessman. The two men came in one and two during the recent special election that drew five candidates.
Election day voting will take place at the same locations from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Feb. 23.
Wall reminds voters to check the county webpage at: co.montague.tx.us/ for additional updates.
