Candidates wanted

Folks wishing to run for a seat on the Oxford Village Council have until 4 p.m. Tuesday, July 26 to file their affidavits of identity and nominating petitions.

Three seats are up for grabs in the November general election. Two carry four-year terms and are currently occupied by Tom Kennis and Rose Bejma. The other has a two-year term and is occupied by appointee Erik Dolan.

To be eligible for council, the village charter states candidates must be a village resident for at least six months, at least 21 years old and a registered voter.

Potential candidates must collect a minimum of 25, but no more than 50 signatures, on their petitions, according to the charter.

Affidavits and petitions are available at both the village office (22 W. Burdick St.) and the township office (300 Dunlap Rd.).

When completed, the paperwork can be filed at either government office.
