A crowd of city council candidates in Lindsay are set to get thinned down Tuesday when voters there head to the polls.
The Lindsay election on March 3 is scheduled to be followed about a month later, early April to be exact, by a much larger municipal election involving several Garvin County communities including Pauls Valley.
Open the customary hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, two Lindsay polls are the Bill Mitchell Complex, 308 SW 2nd, and the REC Mulipurpose Center, located on the east side of state Highway 76 North.
The vote involves a race for four posts on the Lindsay City Council.
Filing to run for those four two-year terms are seven candidates — Brant Stubblefield, John Branch, Fannie Stephens, Wanda Clagg, William Belknap, Todd S. Hinckley and Steve Abram.
Lindsay voters will get the chance to cast ballots early as in-person absentee voting is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, March 2 at the Garvin County Election Board office in the county courthouse.
For the remainder of the county the date of April 7 is the time for municipal elections in each.
In Pauls Valley the races to watch are two posts on the local city council with each drawing three candidates.
Mayor Tim Gamble is now set to go up against challengers Kevin Stark and Jerry Suggs.
Race number two involves councilman Gary Alfred seeking a new five-year term with Chris Coon and Hal Blevins challenging for the office.
Maysville voters will consider the six candidates filing for three spots on the board of trustees. They include Marshall Neill, Trinity Jones, Jacque Martin, Dennis L. Purkhiser, Gay Freeman and Donald E. Breitkreutz.
Voters in Paoli will have a choice between Mary Lee Gish and Boyd L. Nichols in an election for a two-year unexpired term on the board of trustees there.
The one race in Stratford is for a board office sought by Dorothy Pruitt and D. Mark Stone.
Elmore City voters will chose between David K. Schmidt, Searcy J. Simmons Jr. and Steven Johnson as the trio filed to go for a city council post.
All remaining municipal offices that were part of the recent filing period, including all four in Wynnewood, were won by candidates running unopposed.
