LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Registrar of Voters Office reported Friday on the candidates who have filed to fill dozens of seats on school district, community services and health district, fire district and water district boards across Lake County.
The seats are to be filled as part of this November’s general election.
However, with many of the seats not having more than one applicant, only those seats in contested races will be on the ballot. Those seats in uncontented races will be considered appointed.
The following is the list of seats available this fall. Each set of seats has a notation regarding whether or not it will appear on the ballot in November.
For more information contact the Registrar of Voters Office at 707-263-2372 or elections@lakecountyca.gov.
