Election season is right around the corner, and the King County Elections Office wants to help citizens get the most out of their candidacies.
King County Elections is hosting two free candidate workshops April 24 and 25. The two-hour sessions cover the ins-and-outs of becoming a candidate for public office, including important filing deadlines, campaign sign regulations and basic public disclosure information.
Both the April 24 (2-4 p.m.) and April 25 (10 a.m. to noon) workshops are held at the King County Elections Office, 919 S.W. Grady Way, Renton. RSVP by email to election.operations@kingcounty.gov. Workshops will be cancelled if enrollment is low.
The terms for four Newcastle City Council positions are set to expire at the end of the year — council position No. 1 (Lisa Jensen), council position No. 2 (Carol Simpson), council position No. 3 (Steve Buri) and council position No. 4 (Gordon Bisset).
Additionally, the term of Coal Creek Utility District’s commissioner position No. 3, currently held by Douglas Kunkel, is set to expire at the end of the year.
Prospective candidates can file in-person at the King County Elections Office or online beginning May 11 until May 15. The deadline to withdraw is May 18.
