Jackson County commissioners on Aug. 20 finalized polling locations and hours for the Nov. 5, 2024 general election and granted permission to use the courthouse lobby for early voting.

The commissioners also approved plans for transportation of voting equipment to polling sites, noting assistance would come from the Highway Department alongside clerk and voter-registration staff. Commissioner Matt Reedy made the motion to approve the locations and the transportation arrangement; Commissioner Bob Gillaspy seconded and both motions carried on 3-0 votes. The minutes do not list specific hours for each site; those details were presented to the board by the clerk.
