Deadline for election-related letters is April 18

The deadline to submit letters to the editor related to the May 2 primary election is 5 p.m. April 18.

Letters must be received by that time to be considered for publication in advance of the election.

The Canton Repository requires a name, street address (only the city or township is printed) and a daytime phone number (used only for verification).

Letters should be 300 or fewer words. Letters are subject to editing, including for length, clarity, style and libelous or obscene language.

We generally will not use more than one letter per writer in a 30-day period. We check numbers, quotations, dates and other facts mentioned in letters. We may ask writers for internet links to verify information.

We don’t publish form letters or poetry.

We generally publish letters from The Repository’s circulation area (Stark, Holmes, Wayne, Carroll and Tuscarawas counties in Northeast Ohio).
