Election day arrives on Tuesday
Voting in the Nov. 7 general election for state issues and local elections has finally arrived.
Early voting was strong and as of 10 a.m. Friday Elections Administrator Ginger Wall reported 1,625 ballots had been cast which is 10.89% of the 14,912 registered voters. The registered voter figure may be up or down a few as the office received some names that were removed and other changes from the Secretary of State.
There are 14 constitutional amendments up for action. The Bowie and Nocona Independent School Districts will ask voters to consider bond issues for new construction, while the City of Bowie will select a mayor and three city councilors.
Voting on election day will be 7 a..m. to 7 p.m. on Nov. 7 at 10 locations across Montague County.
Polling locations will be at: Montague County Courthouse Annex Community Room, Montague;
Bowie Senior Citizens Center; Nocona City Hall Council Room; Saint Jo Civic Center; Ringgold Fire Hall; Bowie Public Library; Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum, Nocona; Forestburg Community Center; Sunset City Hall and Valley View Baptist, Spanish Fort.
Voters should remember they can cast a ballot at any polling location in the county, not just their town thanks to countywide voting.

A 44-year-old Bowie man was arrested Monday morning at the lake next to Bowie High School after he was acting suspiciously and ran from police.
At 7:28 a.m. May 4 Lt. Bob Blackburn saw a man trespassing at the school lake. Nearby there was a vehicle parked on the service road belonging to the suspect, Zane Huntley. The license plate on the vehicle had been concealed using tape.
“My immediate first thought was someone was here to hurt my kids. Covering up your plates is something criminals do,” said the officer.
