The deadline is approaching to file to run for certain offices in the November general election, including seats on city councils, school boards and mayors.

According to Harlan County Clerk Donna Hoskins, the deadline is in mid-August.

“The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run for city councils and mayor — as well as two county school board seats and three city school board seats — is 4 p.m. on Aug. 14,” Hoskins said.

The necessary forms to file as a candidate are available at the Harlan County Clerk’s Office.

For those planning to vote in the general election but have not yet registered to vote, the deadline to register is also approaching.

“The last day to register to vote in the Nov. 6 elections is Oct. 9,” Hoskins said.

The deadline applies to all six cities in Harlan County.

City candidates were not required to run in the May primary, leaving those candidates more time to file to run for office.
