Steady turnout for absentee voting in Hughes County ahead of Nov. 5, 2024, general election
Nov 04, 2024
The last redistricting map developed in the state took a small part of Hughes County and put it into District 26 instead of District 24, which is what the rest of the county is in.
Hughes County Finance Officer Thomas Oliva says technology will ensure the residents in District 26 get the correct general election ballot Tuesday (Nov. 5, 2024).
