NorCo Primary Election Update

At Northampton County Council's March 20 election integrity meeting, Voting Registrar Chris Commini provided the following update concerning the upcoming May 20 primary election:

1) Because there are no referendum questions, you must be registered as a Republican or Democrat to vote. Independents and members of minor parties are unable to vote. 

2) May 5 is the last day to register or switch parties. 

3) There are no reported statewide challenges, so county officials will be able to prepare a ballot once county challenges to nomination petitions have been resolved. 

4) Approximately 66,000 letters have been sent to people who wish to vote by mail, and thus far, 17,600 applications for mail-in ballots have been processed. 

5) The last day to apply for a mail-in ballot is May 13.

    They should be resolved very quickly. Once I have the orders, I will post.

      Matt and Garry Flower withdrew their challenges to my nomination petitions after putting me on the stand for approximately 2 minutes.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
