The weeklong period for candidates to file for municipal office ended Monday, and highlights included a flurry of last-minute filings that necessitated a primary in Oakley, nearly a dozen people running for three positions in Coalville and the Hideout mayor filing for reelection with a half hour to spare.
Mayors and at least two councilors are up for election in municipalities across the state, and there will be contested mayoral elections in Hideout, Coalville and Oakley.
There will likely be new mayors in Oakley, Coalville and Francis, as the incumbents did not file to run again, while in Henefer and Kamas, the incumbents are running unopposed, and will retain their positions barring successful write-in campaigns.
