Write-In Candidacy for Village Trustee
The deadline to file is by 4 pm Friday, October 25
Maybe you're getting older and time seems to be flying by? Join the Elberta Village Council and you can make 4 years feel like 10!
Due to a form error that was not caught quite in time, longtime board member Kenneth Holmes will be filing as a write-in candidate this year.
Three seats open up for four-year terms on the Village Board of Trustees (Village Council) in November. They are the seats currently held by Ryan Fiebing, Ken Holmes, and Brett McGregor. Fiebing and McGregor are on the official ballot, and Holmes will be a write-in candidate.
You can too!
In order to appear as an official write-in candidate for Village Trustee on the ballot for the November 5 election, you must submit the Declaration of Intent form to Gilmore Township Clerk Dave Bissell by 4 pm, Friday, October 25. Your name will not appear printed on the ballot, but you can urge your supporters to write in your name (which must be spelled the way it is on the form). Village Trustee positions are NONPARTISAN, so do *not* add a party affiliation on the form. If you do, your form may be rejected. Anyone who is registered and eligible to vote in Village of Elberta elections is eligible (and probably qualified!) to run for Village Council.
You can read basically this same text again and download the form on our Village website.
