ST. GEORGE — Over 100 people are running for municipal offices across Washington County this election cycle.
Each of Washington County’s municipalities announced its respective candidates Tuesday, the day after Monday’s official filing deadline.
While a handful of races are uncontested, many see a healthy smattering of candidates. St. George leads the pack of those seeking a city council seat with 13 people having filed to run. And while some towns, like Santa Clara and Enterprise, have mayors running for reelection unchallenged, other cities are seeing three potential candidates, or in the case of St. George and Springdale, four prospective candidates for mayor.
These numbers will be narrowed down to two candidates per mayoral race and two candidates per open council seat in the Aug. 10 primary election.
The elections are nonpartisan in nature for both the primary and general election set for Nov. 2.
