Early voting has begun for the Pella City Special Election on May 1.

The Marion County Auditor’s Office welcomes voting at their window at the Marion County Courthouse. The citizens of Pella will be voting on a telecommunications utility which includes cable, television, video, voice, telephone, data, internet, broadband and all other forms of telecommunications and cable communications systems.

This year registered voters will be asked to show their ID before voting at the polls. Anyone who does not have their ID will be asked to sign an oath verifying their identity and will be allowed to cast a regular ballot. The voter registration deadline and last day to request an absentee ballot are both on Friday, April 20. If you have any questions call the Marion County Auditor’s Office at 641-828-2217.
