Absentee ballots are now available for residents who want to vote early for the $105.8-million bond issue for the Sartell-St. Stephen School District.
As of April 8, residents could and still can vote in person at the District Service Center (please enter through Door 10) between the hours of 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday. Voters can also call the Stearns County Auditor-Treasurer’s office at 320-656-3920 to request an application for a ballot be mailed, or fill out an application online which can be accessed via the district’s website.
People may choose to vote via absentee ballot right up until Tuesday, May 24, which is the date of the school-bond election.
If voting absentee, voters need to be registered. If they are not, they may register at the District Service Center before casting an absentee ballot. Visit the district website to determine what documentation is needed to become a registered voter. The district website is at www.sartell.k12.mn.us/bond-2016.
The school bond would pay for a new high school and all kinds of improvements at the other school buildings in the district. To learn more, visit the district website listed in the paragraph above.
