A voter in Alton Precinct 24 bends over Tuesday morning to read the voting instructions before filling out his ballot in the Messiah Lutheran Church, 920 Milton Road. Three Alton precincts vote in the church. Alton joined several other local municipalities who had mayoral races on the ballot Tuesday.
EDWARDSVILLE Light turnout was reported for Tuesday’s consolidated elections.
Election officials this week, including Madison County Clerk Debra Ming-Mendoza, projected the low number of voters usually seen in an off-year election.
Several municipal, school board and special district elections were on the ballot, including leadership races for Alton, Godfrey and Wood River as well as Lewis and Clark Community College Board of Trustees seats.
