Stoddard County Clerk Cecil Weeks approached the Board to discuss the possibility of moving voters of Dexter Wards 1, II, and III to the Bearcat Event Center. If this worked well then he would look to move Dexter rural to the location. There would be elections in March, April, August, and November of 2020. After discussion for safety etc the board told Weeks they were on board with the move. He would proceed with printing of new voter ID cards with the new voting location.
