Local election administrators are inputting the last batch of voter registration applications for the 2024 election year. According the secretary of state, Cherokee and Angelina counties are seeing the most voters in their counties\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 history. In Deep East Texas, Angelina County\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s registration numbers increased from 53,166 applications in 2020 to 55,980 applications in 2024. After the signing of Senate Bill One in 2021, counties began assessing the status of registered voters.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We currently have 31,191 voters and in 2020 we had about 29,000 registered voters. I think just as Cherokee county grows and people move to this area, we just have an increase in voters as well,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Kandace Herring, Cherokee County election administrator.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got 29,356 female voters and 25,582 male voters,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Terri Jordan, Angelina County election administrator.<\/p>\n
Jordan said that historically, their numbers jump when its time to vote for a president.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153From the cut off deadline with everyone coming in, they were saying this is an important election. We need to get out and vote in. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s our federal races that most of them are wanting to voice their opinion on,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jordan said.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u01535,462 that had been purged from the rolls. The majority of our purges, are the deceased, or it was a mass purge,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Jordan.<\/p>\n
Both counties are noticing some increase in young voters.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re really excited and that, you know, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re turning 18 right before this very large election. This is their first one and I think they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re really excited,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Herring said.<\/p>\n
Jordan and Herring agree that this is the first step, but what will count is casting your ballot at the polls. Early voting begins October 21st and General election is November 5th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
