Coinciding with the county and state general primary but separate from it, the city of Brooklet is holding its special election Tuesday to fill a vacancy on Brooklet City Council.
Voting hours are 7 a.m-7 p.m. at the Recreation Department’s Brooklet Community Center, 416 N. Cromley Road.
That is the same site that serves Brooklet precinct voters in the county, state and congressional election. But Brooklet, which uses paper ballots for city elections, will be using them in this election and in a separate area from the touchscreen voting machines used for the county and state voting. Three candidates, Stevie Stringer, Joseph A. Grooms III and Sheila Wentz, are vying for the seat left vacant by the March 1 resignation of former Post 5 Councilman Johnathan Graham.
Candidate qualifying was held in April, and the city has not held early voting for the special election, so Tuesday is the only day for Brooklet resident registered voters to participate. Neither Stringer nor Wentz has held city office before, but Grooms is the former mayor whose term ended in December.
