Early voting is underway in Lincoln

With the controversies involving the
Lincoln County Sheriff's Office over
the last couple of years and the
recent Superintendent controversy
involving the Lincoln County Board of
Education, it's expected voters will
flock to the poles for early voting
and the general election, which is
November 2.
Local races include Republican David
Carpenter and Democrat Terry Burgin
for Sheriff;
Incumbent Jim Klein [R] is being
challenged by Carl Robinson Jr. [R],
Loy Dellinger [D] and Bob Richardson
[D] for two seats on the Lincoln
County Commission.
For the Catawba Township school board
seat, Karen Bolick is challenging Bob
Silver. For Howard's Creek Township
school board seat, incumbent Joan
Avery is being challenged by Clayton
Mullis.
Candy Burgin is running unopposed for
the seat currently held by Rusty
Beam, who chose not to run for
re-election.
Voters will also be choosing the next
Register of Deeds, as incumbent
Elaine Harmon is challenged by Danny
Hester.
Polls will be open 6:30am-7:30pm on
November 2 for the general election.
