The next election date for Pike County residents is set for Tuesday, Nov. 8’s general election.
The registration deadline for those not registered to vote to participate in the process is Monday, Oct. 10.
Those who are registered to vote in another county or need to change their address must update their files by Nov. 4.
Residents who are registered in Pike County, but have an address change can make the change up until election day, but the Clerk’s office asks that those residents make the change as soon as possible to avoid delays at the polls.
If a Pike County voter is unsure of their address on file, they may call the Clerk’s office at (870) 285-2743 or verify it on the web at voterview.org.
