Election Day Tuesday

Early voting wrapped up Friday for primary runoff elections, with Election Day coming next week.

The runoff election will be held Tuesday, May 26 with races for state seats on the ballots for the Republican and Democratic parties. The winners of the runoff elections will be that party’s nominee in the upcoming November election.

Election day voting will be held from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the Jack County Courthouse Assembly Room 104at 100 N. Main St. in Jacksboro, Bryson Senior Citizens Building at 201 S. College St. in Bryson, Jack County Fair Barn at 1072 Hwy. 59 in Jacksboro and Perrin Church of Christ at 105 W. Eberhart St. in Perrin.
