Filing for municipal offices in Stanly County will begin at noon Monday and will run until noon July 17.

Filing for Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor began June 8 and will last until noon Monday. The incumbent is Aaron Burleson and the fee is $5.

The filing for the offices will be accepted at the Stanly County Board of Elections in Stanly County Commons or by mail.
