Vote In Rich County Primary

This year there will only be a Republican primary election for County Commissioner since there is no challenger from the Democratic Party in Rich County.  A close election in the Republican Caucus which had about 20 people attending meant that no candidate got enough votes to avoid a primary race.

If you are not registered you must register at the County Courthouse by June 13 or by June 16 online.  Early voting will begin at the courthouse by June  16 if you have registered by the 13th

The election will be held June 24 at regular polling places starting at 8 a.m.  To vote in this election, you must be a registered Republican.

Both candidates have family roots in Rich County and both are good public servants.  Rich Civic Times Online asked each to write a statement outlining their vision for the county.  As many know the staff reports are held in open meetings in Garden City and in closed meetings in the County.  RCT asked each how they felt about giving the public more access and transparency in county government.

People often overlook voting for local offices, yet it is the local officials who have the most direct impact on the quality of life in an area.  RCTonline urges everyone to vote in this early primary.
