Election board presents voter-registration totals and extended in-person hours ahead of May primary
Summary
Election officials reported voter-registration totals for the May 19 primary (noting independent voters are excluded), said 2,735 voters requested mail ballots, and announced extended in-person voting hours May 5–12 with a Saturday pickup/acceptance window.
Election staff presented voter-registration totals for precincts participating in the May 19 primary and explained that registration numbers for primaries exclude independent voters, which is why totals appear lower than some public expectations. The election official said registration closes May 4 and reported 2,735 requests for mail ballots.
Officials outlined voting logistics: in-person voting will be available May 5–12 during regular business hours extended to 6 p.m., and on Saturday, the office will be open 8 a.m. to noon on the 16th to pick up and accept ballots. Election staff said ballots are expected to be mailed in the last week of April and that the post office in the county has not caused issues with ballot mailing in prior years.
The board moved to fill precinct election-official vacancies and ratified appointment lists. No contested or irregularities were reported at the meeting; officials encouraged voters to watch deadlines and noted mail and in-person options.
