Early voting for Taylorville City Elections and the School Tax Referendum has changed. Early voting for Taylorville citizens starts today (started yesterday), and people can go down to the courthouse and cast their ballot whenever they please through April 4th. The city government will go through a major change as there will be a new mayor and city clerk, several Alderman positions are open, and the city treasurer's office is also available, with Jacque Nation running to retain her position.

Patty Hornbuckle, CEO of the Greater Taylorville Chamber of Commerce said this is an important election as so much change will happen in the city government. And not only that, the outcome of the tax referendum vote could affect the city for years to come.

Hornbuckle said, it's equally as important for people who live just outside of the city limits to vote, because there are still matters that need to be settled that will affect those in the fringe areas.

Hornbuckle appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
