Special Elections Underway In Creek, LeFlore And Pittsburg Counties

Three eastern Oklahoma counties are holding special elections Tuesday.  

In Creek County, voters living in Mounds and Oilton are deciding whether to renew a 25-year franchise agreement with OG&E.

And Depew School District voters have a $4.845-million bond issue on the ballot. The bond issue would fund the building of a new domed cafeteria for the school district that would double as a tornado shelter and also make improvements to the district's elementary school building.

The Cameron School District in LeFlore County also has two propositions on the ballot. The first is a $260,000 bond issue to be used for construction and the second, a $240,000 bond issue for purchasing school buses.

Voters in the city of Krebs, in Pittsburg County, are deciding the question whether the city clerk/city treasurer can be appointed by the mayor with confirmation by the city council. 

Polls in all three counties are open until 7 p.m.
