It’s another election year for multiple offices in the county and state.

The new year will bring several political announcements and usher in months of campaigning for anyone who wishes to remain in office or step into office for one of 17 county slots or more than a dozen state spots.

A one-month qualifying period for 2023 elections begins Jan. 3 and concludes Feb. 1.

Primary Election is Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2023. If needed, a run-off will be three weeks later, on Aug. 29.

The General Election will take place Tuesday, Nov. 7. A run-off, if needed, will be three weeks later, on Nov. 28.

County offices on the ballot are: sheriff; chancery clerk; circuit clerk; tax assessor/collector; coroner; surveyor; supervisors for all five districts; Justice Court judges, posts 1 and 2; constables, posts 1 and 2; and election commissioners for Districts 2 and 4.

Each candidate must be a resident of the county and district for which they are running for at least two years by Nov. 6, 2023.
