Monday is the final day residents may register to vote in order to be eligible for the May 24 political party runoff elections.
Residents may register to vote at the Scurry County Clerk’s Office, located on the third floor of the Scurry County Courthouse.
One local race will be decided. 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.
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.
On election day, all Scurry County voters who live in Pct. 3 will vote at the county barn. All other voters will cast ballots on the first floor of the Scurry County Courthouse on election day.
All early voting will take place at the Scurry County Courthouse.
County Clerk Melody Appleton said since both parties will have a runoff, voters may only cast ballots in the primary in which they voted on March 1. Anyone who did not vote on March 1 is eligible to vote in the runoff they choose, she said.
Early voting will be held May 16-20 on the first floor of the Scurry County Courthouse from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. On May 24, polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
