The Lassen County Elections Department has announced an extension of the filing period for the upcoming November 5, 2024, general election. Initially set to close on August 9, 2024, the deadline has been extended to August 14, 2024, due to certain incumbents not filing to run for re-election.
This extension provides an additional opportunity for community members interested in running for local office to submit their candidacy. The positions available include seats on the Lassen County Board of Education, local school boards, and special districts such as the Spalding Community Services District.
Candidates who wish to file during this extended period must submit all necessary paperwork to the Lassen County Clerk-Elections Division by 5:00 PM on August 14, 2024. The extension is intended to ensure that all local offices have qualified candidates and to encourage greater community participation in the election process.
For more information or to access the list of available seats and candidate requirements, prospective candidates can visit the Lassen County Elections Department’s website or contact the office directly.
