Special candidate filing begins Tuesday, May 20, at 8:00 a.m and closes Thursday, May 22, at 5:00 p.m. Candidates may file online or in person at the Chelan County Elections Office located in the Chelan County Courthouse, 350 Orondo Ave Ste 306, Wenatchee, WA 98801. Several offices had a void in candidacy and the list of offices below did not have a candidate file during the regular filing period May 5 - 9, 2025.
At the time of filing, a candidate’s voter registration data will be checked. If there are discrepancies, corrections to the voter registration file must be completed before the Declaration of Candidacy can be accepted. When filing for an office, candidates are not permitted to use a nickname that denotes present or past occupation, military rank, the candidate’s position on issues or political affiliation, or use a nickname designed to intentionally mislead voters. A candidate’s last name must match the last name under which he/she is registered to vote.
Your filing fee (if any) must be paid before the filing deadline. CANDIDATE FILING FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. It is your responsibility to submit your filing correctly. Read all instructions carefully.
Candidates may not withdraw at any time when filing for office during a Special 3 Day Filing period. The office will only appear on the General Election ballot, no matter how many candidates file for the office. The top vote-getter in the General Election is declared the winner.
Candidates who provide an email address will receive an immediate email when another candidate files for the same position and a link to submit their statement and photo. Candidates have the option to participate in the printed Local Voters' Pamphlet and Online Voters' Guide.
If you need assistance or have any questions, contact the Chelan County Auditor's Office at 509-667-6808.
