PORT ANGELES — Two Clallam County seats still lack candidates for the Nov. 8 general election.
A three-day extended filing period ended Friday.
The extension was for positions that drew no candidates during the regular candidate filing period earlier this month.
The following seats lack any candidates:
■ Black Diamond Water District, Commissioner District No. 1, incumbent Daniel D. Kauffman.
■ Quillayute Valley Park and Recreation District, Commissioner No. 3, incumbent Jim Smith.
Since no one filed for those seats, the positions will be stricken from the general election ballot, the incumbents will stay in office, and the position will come up for election in 2013.
If the incumbent resigns, the commission or board on which he or she sat will appoint a member, and the position will be up for election in 2013.
Two candidates filed Friday.
■ Incumbent Richard Chesmore filed for Quillayute Prairie Fire District No. 6, Commissioner Position No. 1.
■ Laura Huling filed for the Quillayute Valley Park and Recreation District, Commissioner No. 2 now held by Ron Anderson.
On Wednesday, the first day of the extended filing period, Juanita Weissenfels filed for the vacant Forks City Council Position No. 1 seat, while Gordon Gibbs filed for the Quillayute Valley Park and Recreation Commissioner No. 5 position.
No candidates filed Thursday.
If three or more candidates file for a position, they all advance to the Aug. 16 primary, and the top two vote-getters will head to the Nov. 8 general election.
Primary election ballots will be mailed Wednesday, July 27.
There are 50 positions up for election Nov. 8.
