There are special elections across the area Tuesday (3/2). In Oskaloosa, voters are asked to raisie the city’s hotel-motel tax from 5 percent to 7 percent. The additional money would go toward economic development and tourism projects. Voting in Oskaloosa will take place at the Ag Extension Building at 212 North 1st Street.
Meanwhile, voters in the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont school district will vote to add a levy of $1.34 per $1000 of assessed value.

Mahaska County voters in the EBF district can cast ballots at the Fremont Community Building. Votes can also be cast at Blakesburg City Hall, the Eddyville Public Library and Chillicothe City Hall.
