Dates coming up for primary election

May 25—In a week or so Garvin County voters will need to have their registrations in order to be eligible to vote in a primary election this summer.

The primary itself will come on June 28, but the deadline to get registered is Friday, June 3 as officials at the Garvin County Election Board say more information is available at their office in the courthouse or online.

That's followed by a June 13 deadline for voters to request mailed absentee ballots.

A long list of candidate races will come on the Republican primary ballot, while on the Democratic side it's really only a couple.

Here in Garvin County all voters can vote on the issue of whether or not to allow liquor package stores in the county to be open on Sundays.
