Deadline for Political Letters to the Editor

West Deptford Patch has a 5 p.m. Friday deadline for all election-related letters to the editor.

As Election Day approaches on Nov. 6, West Deptford Patch is enacting a deadline for all letters to the editor on political and election matters.

We will accept letters until 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2—no exceptions. All letters should be emailed to westdeptford@patch.com with “Letter to the editor” in the subject line. Political letters to the editor will be published no later than Saturday, Nov. 3. We will begin publishing political letters to the editor again on Wednesday, Nov. 7.

Letters to the editor on all other matters are welcome and there is no restriction on submissions that don't touch on the election or candidates.

Patch, like many media organizations, institutes this policy to avoid last-minute accusations that candidates may not have time to respond to before polls open. Our policy covers every race from the president down to the township committee and school board.

If you have any questions on the policy, please email us at westdeptford@patch.com
