CONWAY — Jon and Karen Hebert of Conway, thought things moved quickly at Kennett High School.
“Karen and I rolled in to the high school parking lot to vote around 8:15 a.m. The line went out the gym doors to the back parking lot and over to the bus drop off/pick up lot. It was not bad. Took us 14 minutes to go through the line. We were done voting and chatting and on our way in 25 minutes. Well-organized and easy-to-follow process. Thank you to all the staff and elected officials who worked hard to make today possible.”
