Early voting began Monday, May 14, at the courthouse annex for the May 29 Primary Election. Early voting runs through May 25. Voting hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. at the courthouse annex."I encourage all Texas voters to take full advantage of the ease and flexibility of early voting," Texas Secretary of State Hope Andrade said. "Voting during this period means you can vote anywhere in your county of residence at a time that is most convenient for your schedule."
Crockett County voters have a choice to cast their ballots in the Democratic Party Primary or the Republican Party Primary. All local candidates running for county offices, including the contested sheriff's race and the contested 112th District Attorney's race are running in the Democratic Primary. In Texas, voters cannot vote in both primaries, only one. County officials said this is the first time in almost 10 years the county has had a Republican Party Primary.
