There will be a race for Commissioner after all in the City of Tusculum Municipal Election November 3.
Current commissioner Mike Burns submitted his qualifying papers to the election commission office on Wednesday as a write-in candidate. His actual name will not be on the ballot but will be listed as write-in along with the name of BJ Brooks.
The Greene County Election Commission reported August 20th that Brooks of Cumberland Drive was the only candidate to have filed a nominating petition to run for the spot. At that time, it was believed Brooks would be running unopposed, as Burns picked up a petition, but did not file by that deadline. Wednesday however, Burns turned in his qualifying papers to run as a write-in candidate.
Early voting for the November 3 state and federal general election will take place from October 14-29 at the Greene County Election Commission Office at 311 CCU Boulevard Suite 1. Early voting will be held from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays, and from 8:30 to noon on Saturdays.
The voter registration deadline for the election is October 5, and the absentee deadline is October 24.
The City of Tusculum election is the only local municipal election on the ballot.
