Because nine Jefferson County elected positions were without candidates after last week’s filing period, elections officials extended the filing period by three more days for those posts starting at 8 a.m. today.
The positions that failed to draw candidates are Chimacum School District, Position 2; Queets-Clearwater School District, positions 1, 2 and 5; Fire District No. 7, positions 1, 2 and 3; Water District No. 3, Position 3; and Cemetery District 2, Position 2.
If no one files by 5 p.m. Friday, the position will be closed, will not appear on the Nov. 8 general election ballot and will be filled by the incumbent until he or she resigns.
