The 2008 candidate filing period for county offices will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Sequoyah County Election Board in Sallisaw.
A county election board official said Thursday that the filings for the four county positions will be done at the county election board, located at 117 S. Oak in Sallisaw.
The filing period for state and federal offices will also be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Wednesday at the State Election Board in Oklahoma City, Michael Clingman, State Election Board secretary, said.
Candidates who will file with the State Election Board include the following:
- Federal: U.S. Senator and U.S. Representative
- State: Corporation Commissioner, full term, and Corporation Commissioner, short term
- Legislative: State Senator and State Representative
Clingman said filing with the state board at the State Capitol Building in Oklahoma City include candidates for the 24 odd-numbered State Senate Districts, all 101 State House of Representatives districts, five Congressional districts, one U.S. Senate seat, and two Corporation Commission offices.
Names of candidates who file with the State Election Board will be posted on the State Election Board's Web site at www.elections.state.ok.us.
Candidate filing information will be updated continuously throughout the three-day filing period, Clingman said.
County and local candidates who file with the county election boards will not be listed on the State Election Board site, but will be available by contacting the local county election board.
Clingman said election night results of the 2008 statewide primary, runoff and general elections will also be available on the board's Web site.
