We’re just a few days away from this year’s primary elections and if you’re planning to vote absentee, you need to act today.

All Dallas County residents wanting a ballot to be mailed to them need to request one by 5pm today and Auditor Gene Krumm recommends that citizens get their outstanding ballots postmarked by today as well.

The auditor’s office will once be open special hours Saturday from 8am to 5pm so that residents can stop in and cast their ballots early.

Polls will be open Tuesday from 7am until 9pm and the Raccoon Valley Radio news team will bring you updated results as they are available on-air and at RaccoonValleyRadio.com.
