Elections

A general municipal election will be held on Tuesday, April 6, 2027. One commissioner seat on the Cornland Special Road District Board of Commissioners is up for election. Serving on the board is open to any resident of the district who is a registered voter, and the district encourages anyone willing to serve to consider filing.

The district holds elections each April under Chapter 233 RSMo, with one commissioner seat appearing on the ballot each year on a staggered three-year cycle.

One commissioner seat is on the ballot for a three-year term (expiring April 2030) — the seat currently held by Commissioner Layne Anderson, whose appointed term expires in April 2027.

Candidates must be residents and registered voters residing within the boundaries of the Cornland Special Road District. The Declaration of Candidacy also asks each candidate to affirm that they will qualify if elected, have no outstanding campaign disclosure reports, and have never pled guilty to or been convicted of a felony or a federal misdemeanor.

1. Complete the Declaration of Candidacy — but do not sign it yet. You will sign and swear to it in person in front of the district's filing officer at the time you file.
2. Complete Missouri Department of Revenue Form 5120 (Candidate's Affidavit of Tax Payments and Bonding Requirements). This is filed online directly with the Department of Revenue using the link below.
3. File your Declaration of Candidacy in person with the district during the filing window (December 15, 2026 – January 5, 2027) — either at the district’s address, 2035 SW County Road 1067, Butler, MO 64730, or at one of the district’s monthly board meetings. To arrange a time, contact the district.
