LAWRENCE CO. – Filing for local school board offices for November 8, 2022, General Election begins Wednesday, July 27th, and ends on August 26th at noon.
Filing for a school board is a different process than filing for a state or local office, said Lawrence County Clerk Billie Tumey.
All school board candidates are required to obtain a minimum of 10 signatures on a prescribed state form. All signatures must be from a registered voter in the school district the potential candidate resides. The registered voter must be registered at their listed address on the petition.
“We recommend obtaining more than 10 signatures for certification,” added Tumey. “Voter Registration employees will certify signatures obtained from registered voters.”
Forms needed to file are: CAN-34 Petition of Nomination and Consent for School Board Office Elected
in 2022 and CAN -12 Statement of Economic Interests for Local and School Board Offices. Forms are available at the Lawrence County Voter Registration Office in the Courthouse Plaza 918 16th Street, Suite 200, Bedford. The office is open Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. (closed from noon to 1 p.m. for lunch).
