Ossian election approaching

Ossian election approaching

 

 

Tuesday, Nov. 3, is nationwide election day. This year, with a vacant mayoral position and three vacant city council positions, it is more important than ever to get out and vote. Although there will only be two names on the ballot for Ossian voters to choose for the three council seats and no names listed for mayor, several community members have stepped forward to announce that they would accept the positions if chosen by write-in.

Polls will be open from noon to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at the Ossian Community Center, next to the public library.
