City Filing Period Begins Monday

As the month of August comes to a close, the city election cycle gets into full swing with candidates declaring their intent to run. Beginning Monday at 8 a.m., anyone who wants to run for a local nonpartisan city council or mayor position can file a declaration of candidacy with the city clerk in his or her city of residence. The deadline for filing is 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4. In order to run for city office, state law requires a candidate must be at least 18, be a U.S. citizen and must have lived within his city’s limits for at least 30 days prior to submitting a declaration of candidacy. Candidates must also be registered to vote at the addresses where they currently reside/ Jeff Selle , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
