There are elections in seven counties scattered around the state.

Almost all for propositions related to municipal government or schools. Cherokee, Garvin, Haskell, Johnston, Lincoln, Muskogee and Woodward counties all have elections.

In Lincoln County, voters are being asked to consider two propositions for Carney Public Schools. The first would construct a new Ag building and install an air conditioning at a gym, among other improvements. While a second proposition would pay for new vehicles.

In Cherokee County, Hulbert Public Schools has a proposition on the ballot that would ask voters to improve sports facilities at the school, as well as pay for a land acquisition to expand the district’s Ag program.

Below are the other elections being considered:

  • Garvin County — Town of Maysville Proposition which asks voters to grant a franchise to Oklahoma Gas and Electric the right to produce, transmit and distribute electricity.
