At the Feburary 26th Special Meeting of the Clintonville Area Commission a vacancy was officially declared in District 5.

This year there will be a regular election for Districts 1, 2, and 9. In addition, there is a vacancy in District 5 for a term ending in 2021.
Election Day will be May 2, 2020. If you are interested in knowing more about running for any one of these seats, you can pick up a Candidate Packet at the Clintonville Library, The election packets will be available this Saturday February 29th.
To be a candidate a person must be 18 years old or older, live in one of the 4 districts and get signatures of 50 people living in their district. The Petition form is in the packet. The Petitions with the signatures must be returned to the Library by March 28 at 4:00 p.m. Packets are available for both the regular elections in Districts 1, 2, and 9 AND for the special election in District 5.
