Four Mahomet-Seymour school board seats up in April

Four Mahomet-Seymour school board seats are scheduled to appear on the April ballot, and petitions for prospective candidates are available now.

Filing begins Nov. 16

The filing period opens Nov. 16. Candidates who want to seek one of the four seats can use the available petitions as they prepare their paperwork.

The election will decide who fills the four board positions on the April ballot. The information announced so far identifies the number of seats and the filing start date but does not identify candidates.

What voters can expect

The filing period is the next step in the school board election process. Once filing opens, candidates can submit their petitions for consideration for the four seats.

Voters will see the school board contest as part of the April election. The race is separate from any candidate endorsements or policy positions, which have not been announced here.

Key dates

Petitions are available before the filing period begins. Filing opens Nov. 16, followed by the April election.
