Candidates who wish to file for local offices will be able to do so beginning day after tomorrow – Feb. 24 – at 8 a.m., according to Vance County Board of Elections Director Melody Vaughan.
The filing period resumes Thursday after a months-long delay following a State Supreme Court ruling on newly drawn district maps.
Any candidate who has already filed does not need to re-file, Vaughan said.
Candidates may file for the office of sheriff, the register of deeds, clerk of court and county commissioners’ seats in Districts 3,4 and 7. Candidates running for N.C. Senate and N.C. House of Representatives will file at their county boards of elections as well, Vaughan said.
Board of Education seats in districts 1, 2, 6, and 7 will be voted on in the next election, as will City Council Wards 3 and 4, at-large seats in Wards 1 and 2, and seats in the NC House and NC Senate.
The primary is scheduled for May 17, 2022.
