Make your vote count
The 2024 General Election section is included in this paper and contains useful candidate information on those running for local, state and federal offices.
Locally, we have some important races that will be decided when voting ends at 7 p.m., Tuesday, November 5.
We have two qualified candidates running for a single seat on the Hot Springs County Commissioners Board.
In a highly contested race, eight candidates are looking to fill four available seats on the Hot Springs County School District Board of Trustees.
Three candidates are on the ballot for Thermopolis Town Council. Two candidates will be elected.
Eight candidates are seeking to fill one of five seats available on the newly formed Senior Citizens Service District Board of Trustees.
We hope each and every citizen who can vote, will vote. It is your right. It is also a big responsibility so be sure you are an informed voter. We advise everyone to avoid voting on name only. Read the B section of this paper. If you need more information, we have back issues of the IR available at the office that contain additional coverage of candidate forums.
Most importantly, go to the polls and vote knowing no one will be looking over your shoulder. How you vote is up to you!
