Callaway County begins August Primary candidate filing | The Locally Times

Candidate filing for the August 4, 2026, Primary Election in Callaway County opened on February 24, 2026, but public records do not specify the filing deadline or offices at stake.

Candidate filing for the August 4, 2026, Primary Election in Callaway County commenced on February 24, 2026. A Callaway County Clerk record, dated August 4, 2026, confirms this initial filing date. The Callaway County Clerk's record, despite being dated on the day of the primary election, does not provide updated information on the final filing deadline, the number of candidates who have filed, or the specific county and local offices for which candidates are sought. This absence of detail leaves potential candidates and voters without critical information regarding the electoral process. ## Election Deadlines and Public Notices Callaway County's candidate filing period overlaps with other significant civic deadlines in the region. The Missouri Ethics Commission also mandated a '40 Day Before Election Report' for the April 7, 2026, election, due on February 26, 2026. Additionally, Cole County Public Works announced plans to submit an application for renewal of its municipal stormwater permit by April 1, 2026. What to watch: Future public notices from Callaway County are needed to clarify the final candidate filing deadline, the specific offices open for election, and a list of filed candidates for the August 4 Primary.
