Area voters will have the chance to head to the polls Tuesday and cast ballots on several key political races and issues. Foremost on the minds of Miami County voters will be whether to renew the county’s quarter-cent sales tax; up for reconsideration every five years, the program has helped fund numerous infrastructure repair projects and has benefited every community in the county. The current program, which began in 2006, funded nine road and bridge projects at a cost of about $5 million. County officials already have a list of five major bridge rehabilitation projects set to take place over the next five years if the sales tax is renewed. The projects are estimated to cost about $4.3 million, and they are eligible for federal funding as well. The Miami County Family YMCA, 300 11th St., will serve as the polling place for registered voters from Stanton Township, West Valley Precinct, Mound Township, Osawatomie Township and all Osawatomie city wards. Anyone unsure of their polling location can find out by going online to https://myvoteinfo.voteks.org. Voting will take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday. Individuals who want to vote in the Republican primary must be registered as Republicans. Voters registered as unaffiliated or Democrats may vote in the Democratic primary. Unaffiliated voters not wanting to participate in the Democratic primary will be presented only with the question regarding the county sales tax. Advance voting will take place every day between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the Miami County Administration Building, 201 S Pearl, Paola, through noon Monday. Individuals who would prefer a ballot be mailed to them may request one by calling (913) 294-3976. For election results Tuesday evening, check the Graphic’s website at www.graphic-online.com.
