All Scurry County voters who live in Pct. 3 will vote at the county barn on election day during the May 24 runoff.
County Clerk Melody Appleton said since a locally contested race is on the ballot, the Texas Secretary of State’s office informed her that one voting location must be open in that precinct on election day. All voters who vote in Pct. 8, 9 and 10 will vote at the barn on election day, she said.
All other voters will cast ballots on the first floor of the Scurry County Courthouse.
The Republican Party nomination for the Scurry County Commissioners’ Court Pct. 3 seat will be determined between Shawn McCowen and Howard Limmer.
Glen Robertson and Jodey Arrington will meet for the Republican Party nomination for the District 19 U.S. House of Representatives seat.
No Democrats filed to run for either office.
Other Republican Party runoffs will be for Railroad Commissioner (Gary Gates and Wayne Christian), the Place 2 seat on the Criminal Appeals Court (Mary Lou Keel and Ray Wheless) and the Place 5 seat on the Court of Criminal Appeals (Scott Walker and Brent Webster).
The only Democratic Party runoff will be for Railroad Commissioner. Grady Yarbrough will face Cody Garrett.
Appleton said since both parties will have a runoff, voters may only cast ballots in the primary in which they voted in on March 1. Anyone who did not vote on March 1 is eligible to vote in the runoff they choose, she said.
All early voting will be held May 16-20 on the first floor of the courthouse from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
On May 24, both the barn and courthouse will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
To be eligible to vote in the election, a person must be registered by April 25.
