LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — With two supervisors and the sheriff not planning to run in next year’s election, the Registrar of Voters Office said the filing deadline for those offices has been extended.
The elections office said Friday that District 1 Supervisor Moke Simon and District 4 Supervisor Michael Green had not filed to run by the Friday deadline, nor had Sheriff Rob Howe.
Simon and Green had announced previously that they did not intend to run.
Howe, appointed by the Board of Supervisors last year to fill a portion of the term left unfinished by Sheriff Brian Martin’s retirement, also had said he did not plan to run after he completed the appointment period.
As a result, the elections office said that the nomination period to file for those offices — which will be on the March 5 presidential primary election ballot — has been extended for all qualified individuals other than the incumbent officeholders until 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 13.
Those interested in more information about these offices are advised to contact the Lake County Registrar of Voters Office at 707-263-2372, 325 N Forbes St., Lakeport during regular office hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. before the extended Dec. 13 filing deadline.
