Scurry County Clerk Melody Appleton said time is running out to register to vote or change voting information prior to the Nov. 6 general election or local school district elections.
Due to Oct. 6 falling on a Saturday and Oct. 8 being a federal and state holiday, the deadline to register to vote was pushed back to Oct. 9. Appleton said the deadline to register to vote or change information is usually 30 days prior to the election.
“Anyone new to Scurry County that wants to vote will need to register,” she said. “Anyone who needs to update their address must do so by Oct. 9. You need to review your voter ID card to make sure everything is correct.”
A person may register or update voter information at the County Clerk’s office located on the third floor of the Scurry County Courthouse from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
The Nov. 6 general election does not feature any local contested races, but several contested statewide races are on the ballot. A sample ballot will be published in the Oct. 18-19 weekend edition of the Snyder Daily News.
Local candidates on the ballot without opposition are:
County Judge — Dan Hicks.
District Clerk — Candace (Candy) Jones.
County Clerk — Melody Appleton.
County Treasurer — Nelda Colvin.
County Commissioner, Pct. 2 — Craig Merritt.
County Commissioner, Pct. 4 — Jim Robinson.
Justice of the Peace, Pct. 1 — Norma Martinez.
Justice of the Peace, Pct. 2 — Ricki R. Webb.
Hermleigh ISD and Ira ISD will also hold elections for their respective boards of trustees.
In Hermleigh, the field includes John M. Harty Sr., John S. “Jack” Harty II, David K. “Bubba” Botts, Michael Hildebrand, Gerald P. Rodriguez, John “Big John” Pence and Justin White.
