Advance voting underway for USD 115 special election

(KMZA)--Advanced voting is underway for a January 25 special election in Nemaha Central USD 115 on the recall of board member Owen Zinke.

Registered voters that live in USD 115 may vote an advance election ballot either by mail or in person at the Nemaha County Clerk's Office.

The last day ballots may be mailed out is Tuesday, January 18. Voters may vote in person up until 12 noon on Monday, January 24.

A recall petition was deemed valid by the Nemaha County Clerk's Office last October.

The petition was circulated by a group of patrons upset by the board's refusal in the spring to change its mask policy from “ required” to “ recommended."

Zinke was among the majority of board members who voted against changing the policy in April and again in May.

The petition alleges he failed to perform his duties as prescribed by law by not allowing parents to make decisions regarding the healthcare of their children when attending school.

A similar effort to recall board member Amy Sudbeck was turned down by voters during the November general election.
