The last day to register to vote in person or by mail is this coming Monday, Oct. 5.

Your Vote Matters campaign volunteer and deputy registrar Amy Kelly said all those who still need to register to vote can visit the first floor of the Shackelford County Courthouse. 

Residents have this Thursday, Friday, and Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to get registered. 

The last day to apply to vote by mail is Friday, Oct. 23, and voting by mail will require ballots be received by Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Shackelford County and District Clerk Cheri Hawkins, who is also the local elections coordinator, explained that applications and ballots must be received at the Courthouse by the deadline. Postmarked dates will not be accepted. 

Actual Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Hawkins said for both early in-person voting and election day, the polls will be open during lunch, and curbside voting at the Courthouse will be available.

Polling places for Shackelford County will be at the Courthouse for voting precincts 101, 202, 307, and 406, Moran Community Center for 303, Hastings/Precinct 4 barn near Lueders for 404, and Rock Hill School near Hamby for 405.
