Election resources available

COEUR d'ALENE - Kootenai County Clerk Jim Brannon reminds people who are considering running for office in the May 20, 2014 Primary Election that the County Elections Office has resources to assist them.

"I have received numerous phone calls regarding districts," Brannon said in a press release. "If a potential candidate wishes to verify the commissioner or legislative district in which they reside, helpful information is on the county's Elections website."

By entering their residence address at: www.kcgov.us/elections/search, voters can learn the commissioner and legislative districts which correspond to the address. This Polling Place Lookup tool offers additional details by clicking on the Show Dist Details button; all voting districts associated with that address are then displayed.

"The County Elections Office provides accurate information to every citizen's request," Brannon emphasized. "If you wish to run for a local office, please contact the Elections Department at 446-1030, or phone me directly at 446-1651," Brannon said.
