Filing open for hospital district directors

Hot Springs County Clerk Nina Webber said the filing period for Hospital District Directors is now through Sept. 15.

District Directors offices shall be elected upon formation of the Hot Springs County Hospital District. If the formation fails, the director elections will be null and void.

There will be three directors selected to serve two-year terms and two to serve four-year terms.

Webber said a late filing period for District Directors will be held from Sept. 30 to Oct. 11. However, anyone who files during the second filing period will not appear on the general election ballot on Nov. 8 and there will be no notice given to absentee voters about the candidacy for District Director since ballots must be printed prior to this late filing period.

Applications for election may be obtained at the Hot Springs County Clerk’s Office during normal business hours.
