Ever consider running for office? The Shelby County Election Commission (SCEC) is offering a class for people who are, so they can learn exactly what they must do to get their names on the ballot.
SCEC will hold the second of two classes on the subject on Saturday, January 20 at 10 a.m at the Operations Center at 980 Nixon Drive. The class will last about an hour, and is completely non-partisan.

It’s the end of 2017, here at the Election Commission, and we are already getting ready for the May 2018 County Primary Election. On November 17th, people began picking up petitions to run in that election.

September, the last month of the third quarter, is National Voter Registration Month. When we first began publishing the newsletter, the idea was that it would be distributed at the end of each quarter, as an update of what’s going on at the Election Commission with an eye toward upcoming events.

I’m Linda Phillips, the new Administrator of your Shelby County Election Commission. My husband and I moved to Memphis from Lafayette, Indiana during the summer, and we have really enjoyed meeting people and getting to know the community. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming, both at the office and in your beautiful city.
