The San Juan County Elections Office announces a special three day filing period July 29 at 8 a.m. through July 31 at 4:30 p.m. for three MacKaye Harbor Water District commissioner positions. The special filing period is needed because no one filed during the initial filing period last week. When a void in candidacy occurs in a small water district not only are registered voters within the proposed district eligible to file but also anyone who is a registered voter in Washington State and holds title to land in the district is eligible to file.

Those interested in filing for office will need to complete a Declaration of Candidacy found at www.sanjuanco.com/elections.  Declarations of Candidacy are also available at the San Juan County Elections Office. The Declaration of Candidacy forms can be mailed to San Juan County Elections, PO Box 638, Friday Harbor, WA 98250, emailed to elections@sanjuanco.com or taken to the Elections Office at 55 Second Street, Suite A, Friday Harbor.  For more information about filing for office, call the Elections Office at 378-3357.
