Early voting is taking place at the courthouse until August 7th, while election day is on August 8th at regular polling sites. County Clerk Brandi Parker expressed her satisfaction with the high turnout and encouraged more people to take advantage of early voting. The results of the special election will have a significant impact on the school district and the community.
