Absentee Voting Under Way in Pettis County

Absentee voting is now under way for Pettis County voters who want to cast their ballot early for the April 8 Municipal Election, according to Pettis County Election Authority Megan Page.

“If you can’t make it to the polls on Election Day, be sure to request your absentee ballot and submit it before the deadline,” read a facebook post from the Pettis County Elections Office.

You may vote absentee through April 7, if you are registered. And the last day for registration is March 12.

In addition, you may vote absentee on Saturday, April 5 downtown.
