The clock is winding down on the filing deadline for those interested in running for political office in the May primary.

Christian County Clerk Mike Kem says the deadline is 4pm tomorrow (Tuesday) for those running for local partisan offices, including Hopkinsville City Council, Commonwealth’s Attorney and Circuit Court Clerk.

There is a later deadline for those seeking a seat on Oak Grove, Pembroke, Crofton and Lafayette City Councils, as they are non-partisan.

Kem says anyone wanting to file for State Representative or State Senator must do so in Frankfort. It should also be noted Frankfort is in the Eastern Time Zone and is one hour ahead of western Kentucky.
