Two at-large North Judson Town Council seats will be included on the November General Election ballot.

The Starke County Election Board members noted that the North Judson Town Council did not pass an ordinance by Jan. 1 to indicate that those seats would be included in the Primary Election. Those candidates will now be determined in a Town Convention to be held by Tuesday, Aug. 21. However, if only two candidates each file for the two open positions, a Town Convention will not need to be held. Those candidates will simply move to placement on the November General Election ballot.

Candidates may file for the at-large seats by Aug. 1. Forms will be available in the Starke County Clerk’s Office.

The Starke County Election Board members indicated that they will discuss the procedure with North Judson town officials as soon as possible.
