Early voting for May 4 election ends Tuesday
Early voting for the May 4 election comes to an end at 5 p.m. on April 30 at the four Montague County locations.
Local voters are deciding on a Nocona City Council election and a county-wide referendum related to forced annexation and a change in status for the county.
Early voting will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Nocona City Hall, Bowie Public Library, courthouse annex community room in Montague and the Saint Jo Civic Center.
There will be one more day for extended early voting on April 29 but only at the Nocona City Hall and the courthouse annex locations from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
As of Friday at 10 a.m. Election Administrator Ginger Wall reported there were 504 early voting ballots cast in the county.

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.
