CENTER – Time is running out for non-incumbents to file for the 2024 general election, including for the two seats up for election this year on the Wausa Village Board of Trustees.
The Knox County Clerk’s Office wants to remind non-incumbents interested in filing for this year’s general election that the deadline is 5 p.m. Aug. 1 for the races of village boards across the county, the Cedar-Knox Public Power District Board of Directors, the North Central Public Power District Board of Directors and the Educational Service Units No. 1 and 8 boards of directors.
The county clerk’s office in Center and the Nebraska Secretary of State’s Office in Lincoln will be open until 5 p.m. Aug. 1 for non-incumbents interested in filing for the general election, which is set for Nov. 5.
Incumbent Wausa village board members Cheryl Marks and Ron Nelson did not file to run for re-election to their positions. As of the early morning of July 30, no one had filed to run for either of the two open board seats.
As a reminder, no write-in votes will be counted unless a person has filed a write-in affidavit and is eligible for the particular race he or she is running for. The filing deadline for writein candidates is 5 p.m. Oct. 25; again, write-in affidavits are required.
People are asked to call Knox County Clerk Joann Fischer at 402-288-5604 if they have any questions on the upcoming general election.
