Is there a list of qualifications for each office,the candidates must meet?
The only qualification to run is to be a registered voter in Drew County.
Great question! And are any of those that filed qualified for the job?
Some of the announcements listed their qualifications.
Not only do you have to be a registered voter, but you must not be a convicted felon. Also, most people who run for public office do so because they care about the community in which they live and have the desire to make things better!
