Tulsa's Election Headquarters

Polls opened Tuesday morning for a number of school, municipal, and county elections in the Tulsa metro.

In Tulsa proper, voters will choose a new school board member to represent District 3.

Broken Arrow voters will also fill a vacant seat on the school board.

In Wagoner County, voters will decide whether to raise the county sales tax to pay off a $13.4 million settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit against the sheriff’s office and the jail.

Jenks voters will decide the fate of two school bond issues totaling around $26 million.

In Owasso, the school bonds up for a vote total about $197 million, as the district has plans to build a new fifth grade center, a soccer field, and a fine arts center.

There’s also a vacant city council seat to be filled in Owasso.

Polls close at 7:00 p.m.
