This election is a little different in marshall.

That's because there's a referendum on the ballot.

It would allow marshall residents to decide if a marijuana dispensary will come to the city.

I spoke with some poll workers... and they say they've been slower than usual on an election day.

They say that's probably partly due to covid-19.

I caught up with local man who just cast his ballot.

He says didn't want to miss this election.

"i thought it was my privledge, and duty to come out and vote for the person that i wanted in office.

I think everybody should.

It does..

It does count.

Every one counts and all together it makes the voice of the people have spoken."

Just a reminder..

The polls do close at 7 o'clock tonight.
