Mar. 30—Voters who have not yet cast ballots in the April 2 elections affecting five school districts and the Town of Inola can do so Tuesday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., at their local precinct polling sites.

Election of school board members are on the ballot for voters in Catoosa, Chouteau-Mazie, Owasso and Sequoyah school districts.

Requiring a 60% or more majority vote for passage are school bond propositions in Verdigris and Chouteau-Mazie school districts. The 1.5% sales tax vote in Inola also falls under this super majority requirement.

Verdigris Superintendent Mike Payne is urging school district patrons to get out and vote. On the ballot is a single bond proposal for $1.795 million to acquire additional land for future school expansion.

Payne said being able to acquire the land now will ensure Verdigris schools can prepare for current and coming population growth in the district. The land [to be purchased] borders the secondary campus to the south and east.

County and state candidate filing begins Wednesday, April 3, and continues through Friday. Local candidates for these county offices can file at the local county Election Board Office: District 2 County Commissioner (incumbent Steve Hendrix); County Clerk (incumbent Jeanne Heidlage); County Court Clerk (incumbent Cathi Edwards) and County Sheriff (incumbent Scott Walton).

Sunday, March 31, is the deadline for changing party affiliations in advance of the June state and national primary elections. No party changes are allowed between April 1 and Aug. 31 this year. Visit rogerscountyelectionboard.org for an application.

Filing for state-level offices must be completed at the State Election Board Office in Oklahoma City at the Capitol building. Seats impacting Rogers County are House districts 6, 8, 9, 23 and 74 and Senate Districts 1, 3 and 29.
