Morgan County Board Opens Voter Applications Monday
Morgan County Board of Registrars will begin accepting voter applications Monday while awaiting residency guidelines from the State Supreme Court. Chairman Ann Bell says applications will be reviewed Tuesday under pending rules, with potential requests for more information by phone if needed. The one year residency requirement was struck down last month, leaving the boards without guidance after James Wall sued over his May primary eligibility.
