In Dexter, aldermen in all three wards will be elected. Incumbent Terry Battles faces Jerrry Jenkins in Ward 1 and incumbent Rick Hux faces Billy McClain in Ward 2. John Kirby Taylor is unopposed in Ward 3.

Four candidates are seeking three seats on the Dexter Board of Education. Incumbents Betty Keirsey and Mark Nea, and challengers Kevin Bishop and Annette Hux are on the school board ballot. Voters will be asked to vote for three candidates.

Voters in Rural Water District #4 will decide Ton whether the district shoul issue$2.6 million in bonds to replace equipment that has been in place since the early 1970s. The water district includes about 500 customers north and east of Dexter.
