April 3 Qualifying Deadline for August Elections

April 3 is the qualifying deadline for August 7 elections, which include the state primary for U.S. Senate, U.S. Congressman, and Tennessee House of Representatives and the Carroll County General Election, which includes election of special school district board members and county school board members, according to Linda Radford, administrator of elections.

The August election includes the primary for U.S. Senate, currently held by Lamar Alexander, which is a six-year term of office; U.S. Congressman, currently held by John Tanner, which is a two-year term; and Tennessee House of Representatives, currently held by Mark Maddox in the 76th District and Chris Crider in the 79th District. Each of those terms is for two years.

In the County General Election, three county school board members will be elected – one each from school districts one, two and three. Each is a four-year term.

In the Hollow Rock-Bruceton Special School District Board of Education election, one member each will be elected from the town of Bruceton, town of Hollow Rock, Vale District and Spanish Grove District. Each is four-year terms.

Huntingdon Special School District will elect two members at large for six year terms of office.

McKenzie Special School District will elect three members at large for four year terms.

In the South Carroll County Special School District Board of Education election, one member each will be elected from the Yuma District, the Concord District, and the Westport District. Each will be four year terms.

In the West Carroll Special School District Board of Education election, one member each will be elected from the Old County District, Old Trezevant District and Old Atwood District.

“We have several school board members that have picked up petitions for the school board positions,” said Radford.

Two persons from Gibson County have qualified in the 79th District race in the Republican Primary, said Radford. They include Mark Renfroe of Bradford and Curtis Halford of Dyer. No one has yet qualified in the Democratic Primary.

Chris Crider of Milan is vacating his state representative seat in the 79th District later this year. Crider was elected as mayor of Milan last November and is currently holding both elected positions.

To qualify to run in any of these positions, a person must file a qualifying petition no later than noon, April 3. The petition must contain the names of 25 registered voters, who are eligible to vote for that office.
