I had the honor to be appointed by the U.S Department of State to represent and serve our country by being a ”Short Term Election Observer” for the

North Kazakhstan Presidential Election on November 20, 2022.
A.k.a., right on the Russian Border.

Our observation,on behalf of OSCE/ODIHR, indicates that the Election process is professional, secure, organized, and efficient. I have learned so much and am excited to use this professional growth to keep the Pettis County Elections the best in the State of Missouri.

It’s incredible to be a part of history that will be remembered for years. Seeing the democracy, demeanor, and transparency of EVERYONE involved was again an absolute honor.

The different cultures of people observing were so welcoming. I have made many friends that will always be a part of my life. We all have taught each other different aspects of not only Elections but also life. The people of Kazakhstan were so kind, genuine, and loving, especially after everything their Country has been through.

Thank you to all my Pettis County Constituents and my Staff.

Yours truly,
Nick La Strada

Getting ready to fax election material to you for April election. Could you please give me a list of what I have to send you. I'd rather ask and get it right than mess up. Thank you. I have right now Declaration of Candidacy, a copy of the Notice to Candidate, a copy of the 5120 and Sample Ballot. Thanks for your help.
Got my ballot today dated the 29th, great job guys. Now let's get this party started
This election appears is literally one of life or death. Vote Brad Anders for Sheriff
I changed my address and was sent a new card, only the actual voter card part is missing. I only received the half of the mailing w/ my address on it. What do I need to do? Ty.
PLEASE SHARE!
I wanted to thank you for publishing the fair ballot information. It was very helpful in our decision making process.
whats the voter turn out looking like today?
Nick, How does one go about working the election polls for future elections? Asking for a friend!!!
I realize the candidates/issues are the focus when it comes to elections, but I want to give a shout out to everyone at the elections office for making the municipal elections such a smooth process. From the information provided weeks in advance regarding the voting process, candidates and absentee voting, to the poll volunteers who were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, to the technology used for the options to see real-time results, this election cycle was a success!
Well organized and business is conducted much better than those who previously ran the Clerks office.
My Pettis County People..........Share the Heck out of this!!!!!
Great to see a public official not afraid to use social media and connect with the community. Thank you Nick!
