Today is Election Day

Published: Friday, May 22, 2009 2:37 PM MDT

Elections for the School Board of Trustees in Madison, Fremont and Sugar-Salem school districts are today between noon and 8 p.m. at polling places throughout the upper valley.

The election is unusual as far as school elections go because of the large amount of candidates.

Eleven people are running: Seven candidates are running in the Madison School District for three school trustee zones, in Fremont School District two candidates are running for Zone 4, and two candidates are running in Zone 5 of the Sugar-Salem School District.

Residents have already had the opportunity to cast absentee ballots, which are no longer accepted.

Only residents who live within the specific school zone are eligible to vote in the election. Voters must also be at least 18 years of age, be citizens of the United Stations and must register to vote.

Residents may register at any of the polling locations prior to voting.

For more information about the candidates, refer to the election coverage in the Standard Journal on May 13 and May 16.

COMMENT RULES

We welcome comments but ask that you remain on topic. Some comments may be reprinted elsewhere in the site or in the newspaper. Comments that are profane, personal attacks, potentially libelous statements or damaging innuendoes, or otherwise inappropriate or off topic are subject to removal. Repeat offenders will be blocked. Do not flag comments merely because you disagree with the comment.

What you should know about comments on uvsj.com

uvsj.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice.

Don't report a comment as abusive just because you disagree with the opinion. The goal of story comments is to allow discussion, not just one point of view.

Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines, click the "report abuse" link to notify us. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior by those folks who just want the attention.

Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything that you wouldn't want your own child to hear. Ora anything you wouldn't want your mother to hear.

Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his email, and send him a direct message.

Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that the Standard Journal does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for review. You may also notify us via email at editor@uvsj.com Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the name used by the individual who posted the comment.
