Area voters have until this Friday, Oct. 30 to cast their ballots during the early voting period for the Nov. 3 election.

So there is still time before having to wait in long lines next Tuesday.
Voters will either keep President Donald Trump for another four years in the White House or will send former Vice President Joe Biden to govern this country through 2024.

One thing that is sure is the hotly contested seat is going to be fought to the last minute and might take some time before the final results are issued.
At the local level, voters will elect a new city mayor and a new member on the city council.

They are Alejandro “Alex” Flores, who is running unopposed for the mayoral seat, while Gordon Cappon and Polo Narvarez are vying for the Place 1 spot.

So far, the early voting has shown that people have been casting their ballots in unprecedented numbers all over Cameron County.
