Board of Supervisors receive update from Circuit Clerk Nance Fitzpatrick Stokes

During Wednesday’s meeting of the Pearl River County Board of Supervisors,

Circuit Clerk Nance Fitzpatrick Stokes announced some important information about the upcoming elections and absentee voting.

In regards to the new voter cards mailed to citizens, Stokes told the board that they had been receiving calls from citizens who were not happy with the change in their voting precinct location. Ironically, Stokes shared that some people are calling her office asking for information and openly admitting they had not read the letter that was included with the new card.

Stokes also said her office will be open for the next five Saturdays for voting.

Absentee voting on Saturday, April 14, 2018, is for the Board Member for Lamar County School District C only.

Absentee voting for the PRC Bond Issue will begin as soon as ballots are ready. The school district made changes and her office is working on approval for a revised ballot and will let the public know as soon as that is ready.

Absentee voting for the Primary Election begins next week.
