Incumbent Joseph Murray keeps his seat on the Clallam Conservation District board of supervisors without an election.
He was the only candidate to file for the office. State conservation district elections rules say that if the incumbent is the only eligible candidate to file for the position, no election is required.
Polling, which had been scheduled for Thursday, therefore will not be performed.
Mike McFadden was elected March 6 to the Jefferson County Conservation District board of supervisors.
McFadden, who has been an associate supervisor, fills the position vacated by John Boulton, a Quilcene farmer who retired from the conservation district board after serving as supervisor for 58 years.
