Exercise your vote Tuesday Exercise of the voting privilege is a right, prerogative and duty and is re- * garded as a mark of intelligence and cit- izenship and a safeguard of good government. The Herald does not endorse candi- dates but The Herald urges you to go to the polls Tuesday and vote for your choice of candidates. Interest has been centered locally on the board of education race where four seats are up for grabs and on the Kings Mountain city council race where three seats are up this fall. In Kings Mountain all registered vot- ers can vote for the At-large seat and for the board of education and water dis- trict board candidates. Wards 2 and 3 are limited to voters who live in those wards but they can also vote for At-large and board of education and district water board candidates. Non-partisan elections in North Car- olina give the voter the ability to write in a name. Write-in winners must be registered voters and live in the town limits of the town/city for which they have been nominated. Those who win by a write-in vote will receive a certified letter informing them and the person elected by write-in would have to agree to take the position. Candidate signs dot a wide area of Kings Mountain and all over the county. What these candidates envision for Kings Mountain and the county is in their own words in a Meet the Candi- date portion of this week's Herald. All six candidates running for three seats open on city council responded and all nine candidates running for four seats open on the school board responded. Those answers could determine your choice in this important election. The City Council field of candidates: Ward 2: Mike Butler, Patty Hall Ward 3: Tommy Hawkins, Jerry Mulli- nax At-Large: Dean Spears, Curtis Pressley The Board of Education field of candi- dates: Kathy Falls, Phillip W.
