On the eve of the filing deadline, very few candidates had signed up to run in local city council and school board elections.

All three incumbent Palmyra City Council members have filed to run for re-election including Ellen Goodwin, Ward 1, Patrick Barnes, Ward 2, and Earl Meyers, Ward 3. 

As of Monday, they had no competition.

The Palmyra R-I School District has two candidates filed to run for the two available school board positions, both incumbents, Roth McElvain and Joe Knochel.

No candidates had filed yet for two available positions on the Marion County R-II Board of Education currently held by Beau Britt and Julie Straus.

The deadline for filing to run in the April 5 election was Dec. 28.
