Pettis County Clerk Nick La Strada plans to make good on a campaign pledge to encourage citizen participation by sponsoring two voter registration drives next week.
La Strada and Chief Deputy Clerk Terrie Close will oversee booths at both the western and eastern entrances to Walmart from 4 to 8 p.m. on Monday and Friday, Feb. 25. New voters will be able to register and existing voters will be able to complete change-of-address paperwork during the registration drives. La Strada said his office has set a goal of registering 100 new voters.
