School board candidates

[Anonymous]

Not looking for opinions here... JUST wondering where I can find an official listing of BOE candidates. And how many do we choose? Newish to MoCo and having a hard time figuring out what's even going to be on the ballot.

This is the official list of candidates. Scroll all the way down to the bottom to see the BOE races.

All voters may vote for one candidate in each of the four races: at-large, and Districts 1, 3, and 5. The top two candidates in each race will advance to the general election in November.

So I'm not just voting for my own district?

Correct. The districts are to make sure the candidates reside in different parts of the county.

Is that true for the county council too? Can we vote for all the county council seats?

No, for the council you can only vote for your district plus the at large seats.

NP here. Are you sure the voting for county council members is limited to your district & at-large? I could have sworn we've voted for other districts before. My neighbor has a sign up in their yard for someone running in another district.

Yes, district councilmembers are elected only by people within their district.
