The candidate filing period for the April election in Missouri closes Tuesday for positions coming open on Ozark County school and municipal boards, as well as Public Water District #1 in Theodosia and the Ozark County Ambulance District. No terms are expiring on the Ozark County Health Department board.
The last day to register to vote in the April election is March 10.
Those interested in filing for a position on one of the Ozark County boards should contact the respective school, village, or district office.
Those planning to file for a school board seat should remember some districts are on a four-day/week schedule.
If the number of candidates who file for a board equals the number of terms expiring, state law specifies that no election will be held.
