The filing period for candidates seeking municipal offices in Missouri opened earlier this week.
Secretary of State John Ashcroft wants Missourians to be aware of changes to opening and closing dates for candidate filing for the April 5, 2022, General Municipal Election.
Candidate filing for the General Municipal Election, which includes school boards, municipalities, fire districts and other political subdivisions has been shortened by two weeks following the passage of House Bill 271.
The filing period remains open until 5 p.m. on Dec. 28.
“Municipal elections, perhaps, are the most important,” said Ashcroft. “It’s always inspiring to see individuals willing to run for local office and serve the people in their local communities. We want to make sure people are aware of this important deadline change.”
Ashcroft encourages Missourians to visit GoVoteMissouri.com for election information, news and updates.
