OVER 1700 CAST EARLY VOTES IN SPECIAL ELECTION
Early voting for the May 5th Special Election for State Representative ended with a very busy day on Tuesday, as 390 voters cast ballots in person at the Courthouse Annex.
According to Washington County Clerk Beth Rothermel, that brings the 7 day Early Voting in-person total to 1,762 and concludes early voting for the Special Election.
There are 3 candidates on the ballot, Democrat: Cecil Webster and Republicans: Ben Lehman and Jill Wolfskill. The winner will fill the post until the end of 2018.
Leman and Wolfskill are also involved in a separate runoff election, later this month, to decide the Republican candidate to face Webster in November’s general election.
Election Day is this Saturday. Only four locations will be open for voting from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Precinct 1 will vote at the Event Center at the Washington County Fairgrounds on East Blue Bell Road.
Precinct 2 will vote at the VFW Hall on East Tom Green.
Precinct 3 will vote at the Nancy Carol Library Library on MLK Jr. Parkway.
And Precinct 4 will vote at the Blinn College Student Center.
Anyone that is unsure of where to go to vote on Saturday is encouraged to call the Washington County Courthouse at 277-6200.
