Supplementary registration for the April 2 Sullivan County Democratic primary will be held from 2 am to 7 pm from Thursday through Saturday.

E Ray Anuk, county Election Board chair, noted that those registered at Dickson School need not re-register unless they change address. The Dickson School precinct was Ser Peinncy.
