School elections upcoming for North Butler, Clarksville

  Voters will visit the polls for school board elections from noon to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 8. School elections managed through the Butler County Auditor's Office and on the September ballot are North Butler, Clarksville, Aplington-Parkersburg and Hawkeye Community College.
  Butler County ballots are ready for voters to vote by mail or absentee. Monday, Aug. 24 is the last "worry-free" postmark date to vote by mail. The deadline to request an absentee ballot to be mailed is Friday, Sept. 4. Saturday, Sept. 5 is the deadline for the return ballots to be postmarked.
  A voter may cast an absentee ballot in person at the auditor’s office until School Election Day (hereafter "Election Day"), from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m.
  The deadline for voter pre-registration is 5 p.m. Aug. 28. Election Day registration is possible at the polls. Please watch an upcoming issue for the legal Notice of Election for Butler County, which appears with the sample ballot publication.
  Voters admitted to hospitals or nursing homes after 12 a.m. (midnight) on Sept. 5 may call to request delivery of an absentee ballot until 4 p.m. on Election Day.
  Voters in all school districts administered in Butler County — that is, North Butler, Clarksville and Aplington-Parkersburg — elect their board members at-large. At-large in this case means anyone in the school district can vote for the ballot-specified number of candidates in any race. Some people in the North Butler School District reside in Floyd County. However, they are still part of North Butler and can still vote if they are eligible to vote in any other election.
