Washburn special election to be held Dec. 2

One person has filed to run for two open seats on the Washburn City Commission.
A special election is set to take place Dec. 2 at the Washburn City Hall. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
According to the sample ballot, which is published in this week’s Leader-News, a valid North Dakota ID must be present to cast a ballot.
The only person to officially file to run for the two open seats is Sharla Koslonski.
According to Auditor Chelsey Brandt, the write-in candidate with the most votes will be offered a seat on the commission. If no write-in candidate accepts the position, the commission will have to appoint a candidate to be considered.
