Stivers High School was one of the few polling sites open May 4 for the Dayton special elections. About eight percent of registered voters in Montgomery County came out to the polls Tuesday.
There was a severe thunderstorm warning in the afternoon, and heavy rainfall in the evening. But, that didn’t stop Dayton residents from coming out Tuesday to vote in the local special elections.
Voters narrowed down a crowded field of three mayoral and seven commissioner candidates. Mayoral candidates Jeffrer Mims Jr. and Rennes Bowers, and commissioner candidates Shenise Turner-Sloss, Stacey Benson-Taylor, Darryl Fairchild and Scott Sliver are moving on to the November general elections.
