Residents can still throw their hat in the ring for several local elections. Thirty-two elected positions are without a single candidate after the county’s regular filing period, prompting a special three-day period from this Tuesday to Thursday.
Positions with no filed candidates include city council seats in Mossyrock and Napavine, six school district boards and several fire, cemetery and water-sewer districts.
Candidates can file in-person at the county auditor’s office from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or online from 9 a.m. Tuesday to 4 p.m. Thursday at elections.LewisCountyWA.gov.
Candidates who file during the special filing period will go directly on the general election ballot, and offices that are still void of any candidates will be struck from the ballot. Any incumbents will remain in office until the next election or resignation.
