The election season is upon us, with early voting already underway. When school began this year, the Craig County Board of Elections invited students 12-18 to create an “I Voted” sticker to be handed out in the county during this election cycle. Entries were judged anonymously by the board members. “Thank you to each student who participated in our first sticker contest. Each entry was unique and valued, it was a very difficult decision,” shared Joanna Ryan, Craig County director of elections. “Extra special thank you to Sierra Frazier, Craig County High School art teacher.” Ryan continued.
The winning design was from Isaiah Nichols, age 17. Ryan and other board members will recognize Nichols and his winning submission at the October School Board meeting.
Voting in person in Craig County is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., at the Registrar’s office at 155 Main Street, across from the Old Hotel. Two Saturdays have also been added, Oct. 25 and Nov. 1, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Sample ballots can be reviewed here. Absentee ballots can be requested by Oct. 24 and completed ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday, Nov. 4.
