Commissioners announce early‑voting locations, town halls and local events

Members of the Grayson County Commissioners Court used the Oct. 14 meeting to remind residents about early voting for the upcoming constitutional and county proposition elections, announce remaining town‑hall sessions on the Grayson County assistance district and highlight several community events.

Commissioner Wright said early voting for the constitutional elections and county proposition begins Monday and listed the county’s early‑voting locations as Bells, Denison, Howe, Pottsboro, Sherman, Ben Austin and Whitesboro. He said hours for the first week (Monday–Friday) are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with weekend and the following‑week hours to change from that schedule.

Several commissioners reminded residents about a final round of town halls on the Grayson County assistance district. One commissioner said the last scheduled town‑hall session for the series will be at 6 p.m. in Pottsboro (Tanglewood venue). Commissioners encouraged attendance to answer questions about the proposed assistance district.

The court also noted community events: a Precinct 1 fall cleanup scheduled Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the barn at 1312 East FM 1417 (across from the Elks Lodge), a Preston Harbor groundbreaking in Denison on Friday at 11 a.m., a Grayson Republican Women luncheon at noon that same day, and a senator’s town hall meeting at 8 a.m. in the West Courtroom on Friday. Commissioners also offered condolences for former Precinct 1 commissioner Johnny Waldrop, who served from 2001 to 2012 and whose funeral the court said took place recently.

Ending Commissioners closed the meeting after offering local reminders and community announcements; they encouraged residents to attend scheduled town halls and to monitor early‑voting schedules.
