Ashcroft, the City of Springfield and Greene County Clerk Shane Schoeller have partnered to produce a public service announcement to make sure citizens understand the voting options available to them for the Nov. 3 election.
“We are prepared. We want to make sure that every voter and their vote counts. Regardless of your political party, voting is about making your voice heard and coming together in a peaceful way. We can resolve our differences at the ballot box as we look toward November 3rd,” Schoeller said at the press conference.
