TODAY IS ELECTION DAY, AND ALL BUT ONE OF ROSEAU COUNTY’S TOWNSHIPS CHOSE MAIL BALLOTING THIS YEAR; IN PART DUE TO CORONAVIRUS CONCERNS. ROSEAU COUNTY AUDITOR/ RECORDER MARTIE MONSRUD SAYS THE PROCESSING OF BALLOTS SHOULDN’T CHANGE MUCH ONLY MORANVILLE TOWNSHIP, SOUTH OF WARROAD, CHOSE IN-PERSON VOTING. THE CITIES OF ROSEAU, WARROAD AND GREENBUSH ARE IN-PERSON BECAUSE OF THEIR POPULATIONS; AND THERE IS IN-PERSON VOTING AVAILABLE AT THE ROSEAU COUNTY COURTHOUSE.
THE ROSEAU COUNTY BOARD, LAST WEEK, SET NOVEMBER 13TH AS THE DATE FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION CANVASSING BOARD; AND APPROVED A RURAL HEALTH NETWORK DEVELOPMENT GRANT APPLICATION.
