Let’s make it happen here in Cherokee County as well!

Early voting in Texas
Be sure to VOTE early. If there are any problem with your registration, you have time to get it fixed. Remind your Democratic friends and family to vote early also.
If you vote a straight Democratic ticket, don't add emphasis by voting again for Democrats individually. Your vote will not be counted correctly if you do that.
We will have our pre-Election meeting of the Cherokee County Democratic Club on Thursday, October, 23rd, at Campaign Headquarters, 402 College Ave., Jacksonville at 7:00 PM. Cherokee County Texas Democratic Women will meet at 6:30 PM. Everyone is encouraged to attend and participate in our ramped up campaign activities. Bring a lawn chair for additional seating.
We've also arranged for an Election Watch Party, on Election night, Nov. 4th, from 7-10 PM at the Best Western motel in Jacksonville. Please bring a party snack to share.

Early voting in Texas
Early voting in person may be easier than you think. You don't have to stand in long lines on Election Day. Registered voters may vote early at a location convenient to them within their political subdivision. Early voting in person generally starts 17 days before each election and ends 4 days before each election. Early voting for the May uniform election date begins 12 days before the election and ends on the 4th day before the election. If you can drive or if you have a friend or relative who can drive you, you don't even have to get out of the car. Call ahead to notify the early voting clerk that you want to vote from your car. This procedure is called "curbside voting" and is available to any voter who has difficulty walking or standing for long periods. The election official will bring your ballot to your car outside the polling place. Curbside voting is available during early voting and on Election Day. State and Federal law requires all early and Election Day polling locations to be physically accessible to voters with disabilities. Call your election official for information on your particular voting sites.
Vote early in person (you don't need to vote in your precinct, you can cast your ballot at any early voting site in your county which is convenient to YOU) or vote early by mail (this is done by requesting an application for a ballot to be mailed to you or downloading an application form). Voting early in person is convenient and, unlike early voting by mail, you don't need an excuse.
Early Voting dates are October 20-October 31, 2008.
Contact your county registrar for voting locations. To request an application ballot to be mailed to you (ABSENTEE), click here
Or request an application for a ballot (absentee) by mail, here.

Unity Banquet Postponed
Due to the impending weather coming our way, the Cherokee County Democratic Club has postponed the Unity Banquet Scheduled for Saturday, September 13. Eagle's Bluff, where the banquet was to be held, has also closed its operations for that evening also.
We do hope that the hurricane will disapate quickly and that the predictions are worse than the reality.
Take care, keep dry, and Vote Democratic.

Cherokee County Democrats Open Headquarters
Exactly two months before the November Election, Cherokee County Democrats opened their campaign headquarters at 402 College Ave. in Jacksonville; officially kicking off the fall campaign. “We are enthusiastic about our entire Democratic ticket, their experience and East Texas values” said Caesar A. Roy, County Democratic Chair.
With Cherokee County residents going without: without money for gas; without jobs, without health care, it is the Democratic candidates who will fight hardest for you and your family. We’re in this fight together. The historic Texas Primary, in which millions of Texans voted, showed that this year, Texans can make a difference - a big Texas size difference.
The deadline for registering to vote is October 6, and Early Voting is Oct. 21-31.
