NC Legislature continues their new redistricting effort…
Interested in filing for local political office? Those who hope to be on the ballot for the next election, but did not file during earlier filing season, will be allowed to resume the filing season at 8 a.m. February 24 and ends at noon March 4. Candidates who filed before the suspension of the filing period do not need to re-file if they still wish to run for the same office … confused??? When in doubt, contact the local Board of Elections office … The delay, for the most part, is due to court rulings related to redrawing political boundaries … Hang on, don’t give up…
