Voters across Henry County are heading to the polls today, Tuesday, April 7, 2026, for the General Municipal Election, with a wide range of local races and ballot questions to decide.
Municipal races are on the ballot in several communities, including Montrose, Windsor, Tightwad, Calhoun, Clinton, Deepwater, and Blairstown.
In Montrose, voters are deciding 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 are selecting aldermen in Wards I, II, and III.
In the Village of Tightwad, voters are choosing two trustees and weighing a question that would allow the village to forgo annual elections when the number of candidates equals the number of available positions.
Calhoun voters are electing two aldermen at-large and deciding whether the city should provide citywide solid waste collection services for residential properties.
