Twenty Bureau County mayoral positions, 10 city/village clerk positions, one city treasurer and an estimated 70 village board trustee/commissioner/aldermen positions will be up for election at the April 9, 2013, consolidated election.

Candidate packets for those positions are now available from village clerks and city halls around the county. The filing date for those candidate petitions is Dec. 17-24, with the petitions to be returned to the village clerk or city hall.

The following is a list of candidates for village/city positions open for the April 2013 election. The villages of Hollowayville, LaMoille and Ohio did not return calls to the Bureau County Republican by press time, with the information on those villages supplied through the Bureau County Clerk’s office. There could be additional unexpired terms open in those villages, Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus said.
