Retired Memphis City Schools teacher Bernice Alexander doesn’t usually vote at her polling place in Bartlett.

With only two races on the ballot, one thing is obviously missing, said Mike McCrory, minister of music at First Baptist Church of Lakeland. None of the candidates have planted signs in front of the church and there are no campaign workers or candidates asking for votes. ”It’s been a steady pace of voting but we have had 3 or 4-plus complaints that they didn’t see any signs, any ‘vote for me' signs,” McCrory said.
