A few hours left to change parties to vote in primary of choice

County Court Clerk Ann Melton's office is open until 4:30 p.m. December 30, 2006
The office of Adair County Court Clerk Ann Melton is the only office open in the Courthouse Annex today, Friday, December 30, 2005.

The Clerk said she was trying to give everyone who wanted a chance to switch parties to be able to do so by the deadline for voting in the primary of their choice next year or to run as an independent.


The statutory deadline for making the change is December 31, 2005. The clerk's office will be closed on Saturday, along with other County Offices, and will take the New Year's holiday off on Monday, January 2, 2006.The deadline is important for two groups:
  1. Those wishing to switch from Democrat-to-Republican or Republican-to-Democrat so they can vote in the May 16, 2006 primary in their new party of choice, or,

  2. Those who might be contemplating running as an Independent in next year's general election. Those persons will have to have re-registered as Independents by 4:30 p.m. this afternoon. Such candidates would have later deadlines for actually filing: One in early April, 2006, to fill out intent of candidacy papers and then to file, early in August, 2006.
The office of Adair County Sheriff Steve Cheatham in the Old Courthouse is also open today, Friday, December 30, 2006.
