With a City of Bartlesville bond issue election scheduled for March, the deadline for those who would like to register to be part of it is fast approaching.

Those who are not already registered have until Feb. 9 to do so to be eligible to take part in the election. Up for a vote on March 6 will be a proposed $16.5 million General Obligation Bond package, which addresses several community projects.

In order to take part in this election, voters must live within the Bartlesville City limits.
