Primaries require 45 day filing for all candidates
A wartime election rule now requires candidates for local and state offices to file at least 45 days before primaries due to voting by mail. Attorney General Walsh announced the ruling, noting July 25 as the deadline for filings, with local officials noting no fees yet. The change, tied to war emergency laws, overrides the usual 30 day deadline and adds 25 cents per name on independent petitions.

A small staff in donated office space manages a 28 million corporation, plans final bond payments, and opens the Time Capsule in June with little enthusiasm for revival.
