Candidate filings for local positions

The filing period for the most local of political offices — school board, cities and township positions — ended on primary election day last week with one exception. In Carlton County, Cloquet city candidates filed by June 2 and there was a primary election for the Ward 5 City Council spot last week.

Staff at the Carlton County Auditor’s office said residents may request absentee ballots by calling the auditor’s office at 218-384-9127 (leave your name and address if you get voicemail) or register online at mnvotes.org. It’s not urgent though. Ballots for November have not been printed yet. Also, anyone who is a registered voter and lives in a mail ballot precinct will automatically be mailed a ballot.

The following local candidates will be listed on the ballot in the Nov. 3 general election. Local races are nonpartisan.
