| Officials with the Secretary of State's Office are telling counties to expect a 12-percent voter turnout in tomorrow's special election for the pension bond amendment. Calhoun County Clerk Richard Kirby says that 90 people cast their votes early, with 20 mail-in votes. Polls at the usual polling places will open at 6:30 a.m. in Calhoun and close at 7:30 p.m. The constitutional vote is say yes or no to consolidate a large debt load which is now financing state retirement funds, reducing the annual cost to the state. The results are expected to be in early. |
