Candidate Filing Begins Next Thursday for August 21 Primary

Candidates wanting to run for local and state office can begin filing next Thursday.

Laramie County Clerk Debra Lee says her office will begin accepting applications for county offices -- including commissioner, assessor, treasurer, clerk, coroner, sheriff, clerk of district court and district attorney -- at 8 a.m. on May 17.

Application forms can be picked up at the clerk's office and must be returned no later than 5 p.m. on June 1, the last day for filing.

Lee says the list of candidates who have filed will be updated on the clerk's website by 5:30 p.m. every weekday during the filing period.

Candidates running for Cheyenne City Council will need to file with the City Clerk's Office and those seeking a state office will need to file with the Wyoming Secretary of State's Office.
