Candidates for Sallisaw municipal offices and for Sequoyah County school districts may begin filing their declarations of candidacy at 8 a.m. Monday. The filing period will end at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Kathy Webb, Sequoyah County Election Board secretary, said.

The posts open in the Sallisaw elections are Ward No. 1 and No. 3 commissioners. Both are for a term of three years. The Sallisaw election will be held Feb. 9, and a runoff election, if needed will be held April 6.

Offices for which declarations of candidacy will be accepted for school boards are Office no. 2 at Belfonte; Office no. 2 at Brushy; Office no. 5 at Central; Office no. 5 at Gans; Office nos. 5, 4 and 3 at Gore; Office no. 2 at Liberty; Office nos. 2 and 1 at Marble City. Office no. 2 at Moffett; Office no. 5 at Muldrow; Office no. 5 at Roland; Office no. 5 at Sallisaw; and Office no. 5 at Vian.

The board of education post will be decided at the annual school election on Feb. 9. Webb said if no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the total votes cast in the election, the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes will meet in a runoff election April 6.
