Ballots for the all-mail election were mailed to all registered voters of the School District on Tuesday, January 21^st.

When mailing a ballot, the voter must place one first class (forever) postage stamp on the envelope. Shively suggests that voters mail their ballots early as it may take three or more days for the ballots to be delivered to his office.
