The deadline has come and gone for incumbents seeking to run for re-election for seats on local village boards in this year’s election cycle.
Incumbent candidates had to file their intentions before the end of the business day on Friday.
In Polk, incumbents Rodney Hanquist and Darold Carlstrom filed paperwork to appear on the ballot.
In Shelby, incumbents Jeffrey D. Willis and Ruth M. Godejohn filed their paperwork to appear on the ballot. They are joined by Anita Smith, who filed her intentions to run back in March.
In Benedict, there are two village seats up for election this year – those of Miranda Martin and Aaron Reetz. Both have filed and a non-incumbent has as well – Robert Jensen.
In Gresham, the seats of Thomas Luettel and Kimberly Sheehan are up for election. Sheehan has filed, Thomas Luettel did not. However, Conner Luettel filed as a non-incumbent.
Non-incumbents have until Aug. 1 to file their candidacies. Interested candidates can file in the Polk County Clerk’s office.
