The poll prepares for the August 4 election in Montgomery County
Now that the Montgomery County primary is history, local candidates and voters can start focusing on the second election of 2022, which is the state primary and county general election.
Scheduled for August 4 – meaning a hot summer of campaigning ahead – this election will determine the eventual winners in many county and local court races.
This will also be an opportunity for political parties to nominate candidates in state races, and those winners will advance to the Nov. 8 state general election and the city of Clarksville.
Montgomery County Elections Administrator Elizabeth Black and her staff will get some breathing room before July, when early voting for the Aug. 4 election begins.
Black said early voting will run July 15-30 and there will be a new wrinkle this year.
In addition to holding early voting at the Election Commission offices at 350 Pageant Lane at Veterans Plaza, there will also be a second experimental location this summer, at the Clarksville-Montgomery County Regional Airport at Outlaw Field, near Tiny Town Road.

The county and judicial candidates who won their respective political party’s nominations on Tuesday now move on to the final decision day of Aug. 4, and in some cases Republicans and Democrats, as well as independents, will face off. in these local races.
But in many cases, local candidates will be unopposed on August 4.
In the state primary, voters in far northeast Montgomery County around South Guthrie will see the addition of State Senate District 23 to represent them, while most of the county will still be represented in the 22nd Senate District.
In the State House, the county is divided into three districts, 67, 68, and now 75.
All changes in state legislative representation are the result of statewide census-based redistricting.
