Deadline to file for primary is 4pmCT, Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2010

The filing deadline for Adair County party nominations subject to the May 28, 2010 primary election is Tuesday, January 26, 2010, at 4pmCT, in the office of Adair County Court Clerk Sheila Blair, Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY.

At 4pmCT, Friday, January 22, 2010, 60 candidates had filed for local offices in Adair County. That's a large number, but still fewer than the 65 who had filed in 2006.

Candidates filing to run as independents have a, later filing deadline April 1, 2010, at 4pm local time. From the Secretary of State's website, it is:
"Last day for independent candidates, excludes candidates for KRS 118.367(1) federal office and candidates for mayor or legislative body in 4 p.m. cities of the second to sixth class participating in partisan elections, to file a statement-of-candidacy form with the same office at which nomination papers are filed (not later than April 1 preceding the day fixed by law for holding of general elections for the offices sought. If filing office is closed on April 1, form may be filed on next business day)."
Candidates for city offices may file now, but they have a later deadline, August 10, 2010, at 4pmCT. So far, only Councillor Linda Waggener has filed for Columbia City Council.
