Dates for District 10 Special Election
Primary election: October 4, 2007
General election: November 15, 2007
Qualifying deadline: August 23, 2007
What is the qualifying deadline? you ask. In Tennessee, any non-felonious person, subject to age requirements, can be a candidate for election, if said person accumulates twenty-five signatures from registered voters in the district in which s/he seeks office. That's a very low threshold, as I have cleared it my own self. (The peanut gallery will please remain silent.) Would-be candidates have until the 23rd to turn in their completed qualifying petitions to the Hamilton County Election Commission (or, I'm guessing, to the Marion County Election Commission).
The race is on, folks! Will someone step up and run as an Independent?
