Some 36 public offices in the local community are up for election this year, with the deadline for a declaration of intent to file for them due by Friday, May 19.

The offices range in type from city council positions to park, port, fire, and hospital district commissioners. They are all “non-partisan” with no political party affiliation.

All of that can be done online. Most don’t require a fee because most of them don’t get paid much if anything. Many people run for office just to help their communities.

We’ve assembled a list of positions open for election. Below are links to county election offices at which you can file an intent to seek office.
