Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Meanwhile, several Pope County voters who requested absentee ballots say theirs still haven’t arrived, and they’re concerned. County Clerk Pam Ennis said Tuesday her office has re-mailed a few ballots that appeared to be lost in the mail or slow getting to voters. Ennis said the Post Office is supposed to treat the ballots as priority, but once her office sends them, there’s little more it can do.
