If you have an intention to file to run for positions on area city councils, boards of aldermen, school boards or other boards and political subdivisions time is running out.

In early November, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft announced changes to opening and closing dates for candidate filing for the April 2022 Municipal Election.

The candidate filing period was shortened by two weeks following the passage of House Bill 271.

The candidate-filing period opened on December 7 and lasts through 5 p.m. Tuesday, December 28.

For more information on any particular council or board, contact that council’s or board’s secretary.
