Voters across Henry County will head to the polls Tuesday, April 7, 2026, for the General Municipal Election, with a wide range of local races and ballot questions appearing on the sample ballot now released by the Henry County Clerk, Kelly Marriot.
Municipal races are on the ballot in several communities, including Montrose, Windsor, Tightwad, Calhoun, Clinton, Deepwater, and Blairstown.
In Montrose, voters will decide races for mayor and aldermen in the north and south wards, along with a ballot question proposing a local use tax on out-of-state purchases to match the city’s existing local sales tax rate.
In Windsor, voters will choose aldermen in Wards I, II, and III.
In the Village of Tightwad, voters will select two trustees and vote on a question that would allow the village to forgo annual elections when the number of candidates equals the number of available positions.
Calhoun voters will elect two aldermen at-large and decide whether the city should provide citywide solid waste collection services for residential properties.
In the City of Clinton, the ballot includes the mayoral race for a four-year term, along with council races in Wards I through IV.
In Deepwater, voters will choose a mayor at-large and two aldermen at-large.
In Blairstown, voters will elect two council members and consider two separate tax levy questions—one for street expenses and one for park expenses—both proposed for four-year periods.
Several special districts and townships also have issues before voters. Bear Creek Township residents will vote on extending a special road and bridge tax. Voters in the Stoneridge Common Sewer District will decide whether to authorize the creation of a new common sewer district. The Warsaw Lincoln Ambulance District ballot includes a question on imposing a local use tax tied to the existing sales tax rate.
The Clinton Country Club Special Road District includes a board member race and a proposition to extend its road and bridge tax. Multiple water districts, including Henry County Public Water Supply Districts and the Harry S. Truman Water Supply District No. 2, have board races and a consolidation question on the ballot.
School board elections will be held in several districts, including Leeton R-X, Sherwood Cass R-VIII, Henry County R-1 (Windsor), and Leesville R-IX, with voters selecting multiple candidates for three-year terms.
Countywide questions are also included, such as a proposal related to property tax exemptions and a separate measure asking voters to approve a countywide additional sales tax to fund law enforcement.
A full sample ballot and detailed information on each race and question are available through the Henry County Clerk’s Office and online at the county’s election information page. Voters are encouraged to review the ballot ahead of Election Day to be prepared when they head to the polls on April 7.
