The Pettis County Clerk’s office will field teams Thursday and Friday to help homebound voters cast absentee ballots for Tuesday’s municipal election.
Terrie Close, the county’s election clerk, said a pair of two-person teams, one Democrat and one Republican, will be making stops at Pettis County nursing homes and to the homes of “shut-ins, the homebound, the elderly or others where going to the polls would be an undue burden.”
