MSU Welcome Center open for Aug. 8 election

Citizens can have the most direct impact on their communities by participating in local elections.

August 4, 2023 by Public Affairs

Missouri State University’s Davis-Harrington Welcome Center will be open as a polling location for Springfield voters on Tuesday, August 8, 2023.  For those living within the Springfield city limits, the ballot issue regards if the City of Springfield should impose an additional sales tax of 3% on the retail sale of adult use marijuana, also known as recreational marijuana.  This tax does not apply to medical marijuana.  Proceeds from the tax to be used for public safety, mental health services, housing and substance abuse services.

Check out the following:
