4) READER POLLS ARE UP: Columbia School Board and City Council
Take our reader polls. Vote for one city council candidate in your ward (2 or 6) and two school board candidates. Candidates are listed in order of filing and ballot appearance.
Isn't it a little early to be "voting" for these candidates? They have not had much opportunity yet to offer the public information on their viewpoints.
