No Aug. 3 primary election for Finney County
June 1 was the candidate filing deadline for the 2021 municipal elections.
Dori Munyan, Finney County Clerk, said the county will not have an Aug. 3 primary, but will have a Nov. 2 general election. There s a rule for municipal elections that there will not be a primary unless there are more than three times the number of positions available for a particular race, she said. We didn t meet that threshold, so we will not have an August primary, so all of these offices will be elected in November, that would be Nov. 2.
While there will not be a primary on Aug. 3 there will be a special election that day for a special question asking to extend the county-wide 1/4 cent sales tax. It is not a sales tax increase.
