Candidates confirmed for district seats

Almost every district-level seat set to appear on the ballot at the upcoming general election will be contested. This November, voters will be asked to make their choices for the school, medical services, natural resource, museum and senior citizen service districts.

All district seats are non-partisan. Candidate sign-up closed on Monday.
