Primary runoff early voting continues
Early voting continues through July 10 for the July 14 Republican and Democratic parties’ primary runoffs.
The runoffs were postponed from May 26 under order of the governor as part of the efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19.
In Wood County, two runoffs are featured in the Republican primary for county sheriff and county commissioner.
Incumbent Sheriff Tom Castloo is seeking a second term and faces Quitman Police Chief Kelly Cole.
For Prec. One, two-term commissioner Virgil Holland faces Keith Gilbreath.
There are no state races in the Republican primary runoff, while Democratic voters will be choosing the candidate for the U.S. Senate seat to face Republican incumbent John Cornyn between Royce West and Mary “MJ” Hegar. Also Roberto R. “Beto” Alonzo and Chrysta Castañeda are in a runoff for railroad commissioner.
Early voting will be conducted at the county elections office in the annex just south of the county courthouse in Quitman from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays through Friday, July 10.
The elections office will not be open on Friday, July 3 or Saturday, July 4, which are holidays.
Deadline for applications for ballots by mail is Thursday, July 2.
