The deadline to register in Lincoln County for the Nov. 8 election is Saturday.

The Lincoln County Circuit Clerk’s office will be open from 8 a.m. to noon. to accept applications. New voters who have recently moved to Lincoln County or who will be 18 on or before Election Day, can register.

Voters can also complete their absentee ballots for the election.

“Absentee voting is going very well,” Circuit Clerk Dustin Bairfield said.

The last day to vote absentee at the circuit clerk’s office is Nov. 5. The clerk’s office will be open that Saturday morning to accept last-minute absentee votes.

Voters can request a ballot to be mailed, but it has to be notarized and mailed back to the clerk’s office by Nov. 7, he said. 

Election day is Nov. 8. The polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.

There are 20,647 active registered voters in Lincoln County, Bairfield said.
