Final Candidates File For Office: 2018 County Election Set

Darren Doyle, story:
The deadline has passed and all local candidates running for county office in 2018 are officially in the books. While several candidates filed early, some shuffled in on the afternoon of the January 30, 2018 deadline. The following names will be on ballots for either the May 2018 primary, or the general election ballot which will be held in November, 2018. 

Candidates that are running unopposed will not appear on the primary election ballot in May; only on the November ballot.

County Clerk Kevin Alexander said that the ballot position drawing will be held at noon on Thursday, February 1, 2018 for the May Primary, which will be held on May 22, 2018. This decides in what order the candidates' names will appear on the ballot.
