Tuesday’s General Municipal Election ballot is short, but Buchanan County Clerk Mary Baack-Garvey is predicting a 40% turnout at the polls.

“I think people are going to show up, it’s going to be a nice day and I just think this election is pretty darn important and I think they’re going to show up and cast their votes,” Baack-Garvey said.

Voters will cast a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ vote on the proposed 61-cent tax levy and they will be deciding on who will fill two open seats on the St. Joseph School District Board of Education.

Baack-Garvey said voters need a form of ID to get checked in to vote at their polling place.

“If they’re unsure as to where they need to go to vote, they should call our office and we will direct them to the correct polling location,” Baack-Garvey said. “Any questions that they have, I advise they should call us.”

Polls are open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
