Voter registration for the June 1 primary election ends May 4, the same day absentee and early voting begins.

Ballots may be cast at the Quay County Clerk’s office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Quay County Clerk Ellen White said the primary is a closed election.

“If your a registered Republican or Democrat you will only be able to vote for candidates within your party,” White said.

White said voters must declare their party affiliation or can change their party when they register to vote.

“I think a lot of Democrats may change their party due to the District 3 Commission Race,” White said.

White estimated about 700 voters in Quay County have not registered with a party or are a member of a minority party.

County residents can also vote at-large for the District 3 Commissioners race, White said.

“If you are a registered Republican you can vote for the District 3 Commission race even if you do not live in that county,” White said.
