For voters in Springfield School District, River Road Park and Recreation District and Junction City School District, today is the last day to cast ballots for this year’s fall special elections. The ballots mostly deal with funding. No public offices are up for election. Ballots are due in drop boxes by 8 p.m.

Many cities, counties, school districts and municipal entities are asking voters to renew existing taxes and adopt new ones. In the Springfield District voters are asked to approve a $62.5 million bond measure that would replace Hamlin Middle School and add technological upgrades for all the school’s districts. If the measures passes, construction for Hamlin is expected to take place in Fall 2016. Taxes on homes assessed at $150,000 would also increase by $62 a year.

For the Junction City School District voters are asked for money to replace Laurel Elementary along with making upgrades to the heating and ventilating systems in all four of the schools in the district. If the measure passes the $32.4 million bond would raise taxes on a owner of a home assessed at $150,000 by $399 a year.

River Road Park and Recreation District is requesting voters to renew a five-year local option property tax levy. The current levy expires June 30. As of right now the local option levy brings in more than $200,000 annually which allows the district to maintain current staff levels and services such as childcare services.

Among other measures in different counties include: Curry County measure 8-72 which deals with tax levy funding for police department, Benton County measure 02-26 deals with public safety and city services local option tax levy, and Linn County measure 22-122 primarily focuses on a four-year levy for law enforcement.
