Residents in five of the city's eight wards will go
to the polls next Tuesday, Sept. 24, to make their
Democratic and Republican choices for alderman.
The victors in wards where there are candidates
from both parties will then square off in
November's general election.
Voters in the East, Southwest and West wards
will not go to the polls for Tuesday's primaries.
East Ward Alderman Virginia K. Newell has no
Democratic opposition. Newell, a retired WinstonSalem
State University professor, will face
Republican Richard L. Rowell, a carpenter, in the
Nov. 5 general election.
In the Southwest Ward, incumbent Lynne S.
Harpe will face Republican Ronald W. Pegram in
the general election.
In'the West Ward, Alderman Robert S. Nor.
thington Jr. is almost assured of another four-^ear
term ttfc the board, since he faces no opposition,
Democratic or Republican.
Similarly, Mayor Wayne A. Corpening, a
Democrat, faces no opposition and will be reelected,
barring a successful write-in campaign in
November.
Voter turnout for the primary elections will vary
from ward to ward, said Kathy Chastain-Cooper,
chairman of the Board of Elections.
"We have had verv few absentee ballots refnrn?H
and registration didn't pick up as the registration
period closed, as it normally does," said ChastainCoo
per. "It (the number of new voters registered)
feeems to be fairly calm, except in some areas."
