Political signs have dotted yards and properties throughout Beckham County for at least a month as several offices were being put out to voters on April 1.
The elections that seemed to garner the most attention were the municipal races in Elk City.
Citizens have been vocal among several issues, most notably downtown construction and improvements made elsewhere.
Micah Kilhoffer ultimately won his election for mayor against Shannon McAbee.
