Wednesday March 8 is the last day to register to vote in the municipal election this spring. There are no issue or candidate elections in St. Joseph, but there are a few in rural parts of Buchanan County.

Buchanan County Clerk Mary Baack-Garvey says her office will be open for you to register to vote until five p.m. on Wednesday.

Baack-Garvey’s team will count ballots in April from just six polling places, in mostly rural school-district and village elections.

*Voters in Gower will select a mayor in the election, as well as two members of the board of the Gower Fire Protection District.
*Voters in the East Buchanan C-1 school district and the Buchanan County R-4 school district will select members for their school boards.
*The Village of Agency will select two members for its board of trustees.
*The Platte County R-1 District hopes to borrow $6.2 million to fund a new junior high school and some roof repairs, and they’re asking for the voters’ okay.
*There are no candidates on the ballot in Lewis & Clark Village, where they’re hoping to fill two seats on the Board of Trustees.

The municipal general election is April 4.
