Candidates get their names on the ballots for the respective positions they are seeking by filing nominating petitions at the Carbon County Bureau of Elections. The deadline for filing is March 9. The office has been temporarily relocated due to construction work taking place on Susquehanna Street in Jim Thorpe. The temporary office is located at 410 Center Ave., Jim Thorpe, which is the site of the former Jim Thorpe Area School District Administration Building.
