While it is most certainly going to be an absolutely wild  and important election season for national politics, Clay  County  will have some important election topics this June and November as well.  Hopefully not near as wild though!

This Spring is Primary and Municipal elections and is June 4th, 2024.
Voter Registration Deadline is May 20th, 2024
Absentee Voting begins April 19, 2024

The General Election is November 5th with absentee voting starting September 20th. 

District 17 State Senate.
Incumbent Sydney Davis is being primaried by Jeff Church.  The primary in June will decide who gets to run in the General Election this November.

District 17 State House.
Incumbents Chris Kassin and William Shorma are running seemingly unopposed for the moment.  They will automatically win the primary and get to campaign for November if this stays true.
