(Spencer)– Four Clay county residents have been appointed to the Extension Council Nominating Committee.
Committee members selected to nominate extension council candidates for the 2010 election are Michelle Dirkx, Eldon Goff, Deb Jessen and Troy Leininger.
The committee is charged with nominating candidates for the five vacancies on the council before August 2nd, 2010. All voters in the county will be eligible to cast ballots for the nominees in the November 2nd, 2010 general election. Successful candidates will serve four-year terms beginning in January, 2011.
Candidates nominated by the committee must submit petitions containing the names of 25 qualified voters to the county election commissioner by 5:00 p.m. August 25th, 2010. Additionally, individuals may petition to have their names placed on the ballot through a self-niminating process by submitting petitions with 25 names to the election commissioner. Petition forms are available from the election commissioner and at the Clay County Extension Office.
By law the nominating committee must include two women and two men, and cannot include any current member of the council. The committee is required to take county geography into consideration when nominating candidates.
