The election seeks a replacement for Michele Dial who resigned March 9 because of family health issues. The City charter requires a special election for the second vacancy on the Board. Matt Wright was recently appointed to replace Sherri Gallick who moved out of town in February. Voting times vary by day. (Click for LC story about vote times.)
