Last chance to run as a write-in or withdraw

The deadline to run for election as a write-in candidate in one of the Nov. 4 taxing district races is fast approaching.

Kootenai County Chief Deputy Clerk Pat Raffee sent out a press release Monday reminding that Friday is the last day both for write-in candidates to file, and for candidates who have already filed to withdraw.

All filings must be done by 5 p.m. Friday with the taxing district office - either North Idaho College or Kootenai-Shoshone Soil and Water Conservation District - both of which are in Coeur d'Alene.

To date, only incumbents have filed for NIC Trustee seats, and only two candidates have filed for three Supervisor seats in the Kootenai-Shoshone Soil and Water Conservation district.

Kootenai County's Elections office has received no candidate withdrawals for any County races in the Nov. 4 general election, Raffee noted. That filing deadline was Sept. 8.
