For an off-year election, 2015 is bound to bring a busy campaign season.
More than 70 local government seats are up for grabs this year, and interested candidates can begin filing at 8 a.m. Monday morning.
Leading the pack of most hotly contested races in 2015 are the two new Clark County council seats, three Vancouver City Council seats and a Port of Vancouver race. There are also seats at stake in all of Clark County’s small cities.
The in-person period to file runs from 8 a.m. Monday to 5 p.m. Friday. Candidates can file in person at the Clark County Elections Department, 1408 Franklin St. in downtown Vancouver.
Candidates may also file online from 9 a.m. Monday to 4 p.m. Friday.
This year’s primary will be held on Aug. 4. The top two candidates from that primary, regardless of party, will move on to the Nov. 3 general election.
