Gore School will ask voters to approve a $2,570,000 bond issue March 1 to build a new multi-activity center, elementary building, and make roof repairs to the high school.
The Sallisaw municipal election will include the race for the position of police chief.
Kathy Webb, Sequoyah County Election Board secretary, offered voters some tips on how to make their votes count.
Webb said that a valid marking, which is a filled in arrow, is shown on posters at the polling place and inside the voting booths. If voters make mistakes marking their ballots, Webb said they should not try to correct those errors. Instead, voters should return the spoiled ballot to the precinct officials, who will destroy it and issue a new ballot to the voter.
Precinct polling place locations in the county for the March 1 elections are:
Precinct No. 201 - Blackgum Fire Department
Precinct No. 203 - Vian Fire Department/town garage
Precinct No. 209 - Blackgum Community of Christ
Precinct No. 210 - West Tenkiller Fire station
Precinct No. 211- Carlile Fire Department
Precinct No. 212 - Gore Senior Citizens Center
Precinct No. 204 - McKey Fire Department
Precinct No. 205 - Tommie Spear Middle School
Precinct No. 206 - Old McKey School
Precinct No. 301 - First Christian Church
Precinct No. 302 - Sallisaw Civic Center
Precinct No. 303 - Sallisaw Methodist Church
Webb added that registered voters who want to vote by mail absentee ballot in either one of the elections have missed the application deadline.
She said voters who want to cast absentee ballots can still do so at the election board office from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Monday. A two-member, bipartisan absentee voting board will be on duty each day to assist absentee voters.
