Early Voting For which Election?

voteBy Michael V. Hannigan

Early voting begins today … but I’ve noticed that a lot of people aren’t really sure for which election?

The confusion comes from this being a statewide election year. We actually have four different elections this year.

– March 4: Primary Election

– May 10: Uniform Election Date (Local Political Subdivisions Other than Counties)

– May 27: Primary Runoff (Pct. 4 County Commissioner race: Kelly Harris against Ken Geeslin … Pct. 2 Justice of the Peace race: Dale Blaylock against Kevin Pollock.)

– Nov. 4: Uniform Election Date (State and County Offices)

What’s that mean for us now? Well, currently we are in early voting for local elections, like city councils and school boards. I have posted a list of those elections and candidates here. 

The runoff elections will come later in May.
