Nevada County candidates have until Aug. 10 to file for office
Candidates for City Council, fire and special districts have until Aug. 10 to file paperwork necessary for a political run.
All candidates go to the Nevada County elections office in the Eric Rood Administrative Center, 950 Maidu Ave., Nevada City.
Candidates have until Aug. 15 to file their paperwork, if the incumbent doesn’t seek re-election.
A handful of candidates who appeared on the June ballot will advance to November’s election.
Voters in November will choose either Shannan Moon or Bill Smethers as the next Nevada County sheriff, as none of the three candidates received enough votes in the June 6 primary election to win outright.
Nevada County voters also will cast ballots for a U.S. Senate seat, two spots in the U.S. House of Representatives, a state Senate seat and an Assembly seat.
