New Pocomoke election to occur May 31 — maybe

Pending any changes because of notification procedures from the Board of Elections Supervisors, Pocomoke City will hold either a new election or a “re-vote” on May 31.

Both Pocomoke City Mayor Bruce Morrison and City Attorney/City Manager Ernie Crofoot confirmed the new date, but each was quick to add it’s not really their call.

“We empower the Board of Election Supervisors to make these decisions,” Morrison said.

According to code, the Board of Supervisors of Elections “shall be in charge of registrations of voters, nominations and all city elections.”

When asked about the new date, Board President John Haynie replied via email: “The mayor will be letting everyone know at the meeting tonight.”
