Wednesday (July 30) is the last day the Pike County Missouri clerk’s office will mail absentee ballots for the August 5th primary election.

People who want to vote absentee can still do at the clerk’s office in Bowling Green. The office will be open the Saturday before the election from 8 a.m. to noon and on August 4th until 5 p.m. to take care of in-person absentee ballots.

Sample ballots can be found at www.pikecountymo.net. There are contested races for District 6 U.S. Representative in both parties, the Democrat nomination for Pike County presiding commissioner and five state constitutional amendments.
