News Summary

As the filing period for candidates concludes on January 3, excitement grows in Laurens, Clinton, Gray Court, and nearby towns ahead of the municipal elections scheduled for March 4, 2025. Despite some unfilled positions offering opportunities for write-in candidates, the ballot features a mix of incumbents and challengers, engaging voters in local governance.

Excitement Builds as Filing for Municipal Elections Concludes in Laurens and Surrounding Areas

As the hustle and bustle of daily life continues, the cities of Laurens, Clinton, Gray Court, and their neighboring towns are gearing up for a significant democratic event. With the filing period for candidates drawing to a close on January 3, the anticipation is palpable as residents look forward to the municipal elections set for March 4, 2025.

Filing Deadlines and Candidate Overview

The gate opened for interested candidates on December 27, 2024, creating a buzz of excitement and nervous anticipation across local neighborhoods. As the deadline approached, it became clear that not all positions would be filled. Some areas, like Laurens City Council District 2, found themselves without candidates, as the incumbent, Alicia Sullivan, also decided not to file. This particular seat is now open only to write-in candidates, meaning the local voters will still have a chance to make their voices heard despite the initial lack of competition.

In the Town of Gray Court, things are similarly quiet. Out of the two open town council seats, only one has been claimed by incumbent Millie Dawkins. This means that voters in Gray Court will also see an open spot for write-in candidates, adding an extra layer of engagement to the voting process.
