Todd County Fiscal Court hears election update

Todd County Fiscal Court made short work of a routine agenda during a special-called meeting Wednesday morning and heard an update on the election.

Todd County Clerk Cindy O’Bryan reminded magistrates that early voting goes from 8 until 4 Thursday through Saturday at the Todd County Courthouse on Washington Street and you don’t need an excuse to vote early this year.

All of the regular polling places in Todd County will be open from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Tuesday—Primary Election Day—and O’Bryan says she could still use more poll workers if anyone is interested.

Christian County’s early voting Thursday through Saturday will be at the Bruce Convention Center and Senior Citizens Center from 8 until 4 and early voting in Trigg County will be from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. at the Emergency Operations Center on Jefferson Street in Cadiz.

In other news, Todd County Jailer Jeff Penick reported the jail is housing 106 state inmates and 23 county inmates. Penick says the jail has been awarded about $55,000 in federal COVID relief funds and the facility could be in line for another $31,000.
