Notice of Special Election Ballot for City of Cotter Registered Voters

Dear Residents,

The below “Sample Ballot” will be on the election ballot held on March 5, 2024 for residents of Cotter to vote For or Against.  The City Council needs the voter’s approval before they can issue a Bond Resolution to finance the remaining portion of Phase II Sewer Rehabilitation Project though USDA Rural Development. You are voting “FOR” to approve and issue Bonds in the amount of $2,400,000 to finance additional cost needed to complete the remainder of Phase II Sewer Rehabilitation Project. The City already has a (1%) one percent sales tax in place dedicated for Water and Sewer Projects. (No additional Sales Tax will be added by voting “FOR” on this Ballot) Please mark “FOR” when you vote on Election Day.  We need your support!

If we do not receive enough votes “FOR” on election day, the phase II Sewer Rehabilitation will be delayed adding cost to this project. Arkansas ACT 605 and USDA will require the city council to raise Sewer Rates to pay for the completion of this project.

On Election Day you may Vote in Cotter or any other polling locations in Baxter Country: The Good Shepherd Methodist Church, 179 Memory Ln, Cotter, Arkansas (previously known as Wesley United Methodist Church) located off Highway 62/412 Highway.  There will not be any early voting at this location or Cotter City Hall. Early Voting Location is only in Mountain Home at: First United Methodist Church 605 W. 6th Street, Mountain Home, Arkansas
