Roosevelt GOP opens headquarters

The Republican Party of Roosevelt County is hosting the grand opening of its headquarters from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at 101 S. Abilene in Portales, in the Rough Riders Room.

Local headquarters are open every other year for presidential and midterm elections, said Angie Smith, chairperson of the Roosevelt County Republicans..

The Democratic Party of Roosevelt County’s headquarters are located at 604 E. Second St., in Portales.

“A headquarters is very beneficial to any party because it provides exposure and presence in the community,” Smith said.

Another priority for headquarters is voter registration and accuracy, Smith said.

Both party headquarters provide election information and assistance.

Election Day is Nov. 5.
