School board elections will be held September 9th.
Due to an expected low turnout, Dickinson County Auditor and Commissioner of Elections, Nancy Reiman, says polls will be open shorter hours. Instead of 7:00 a.m., polling sites won’t be opening until Noon that day. They’ll be open until 8:00 p.m. Reiman says the poll hours could revert back to the earlier time if a petition signed by atleast 50 eligible electors of the school district is filed atleast 25 days before the election.
Absentee ballots will be available from the Auditor’s Office until August 20th.
