Those thinking about running in the fall municipal and school board election will have an opportunity to learn more about the process and what to expect from the job.

 

The City of Thompson is hosting a pre-election orientation tomorrow evening.

 

Communications officer Kacper Antoszewski shares what will be covered in the session.

 

“Some of the things we will be going over are some of the key dates, deadlines for elections and for the campaign, and some of the key contacts and the people that you need to know to run for office smoothly. The qualifications that the candidate needs, the registration process, what you need to be properly nominated because you do need a certain amount of signatures in order to put in your nomination papers, and some campaign finance rules.  

 

Antoszewski adds the role of an elected official and the relationship between them and administration will also be covered, and there will be a chance to ask questions at the session.

 

The pre-election orientation will be held at the Letkemann Theatre tomorrow at 7 p.m.

 

Listen to Thompson Today at 12:40 and 5:10 this afternoon to learn more.
