Notice of Spring Election
Residents of the Village that are interested in running for office should contact DaNean Naeger at the Village Clerk’s Office by phone at (608)753-2133 or email vilarena@villageofarena.net to obtain a “Candidate Packet” and information on the procedure.
The candidate can then begin collecting signatures of qualified electors beginning December 1, 2020. Candidates need to obtain not less than 20 signatures of qualified electors and no more than 100. Please keep in mind that the Circulator of the Nomination Papers must personally present the Nomination Paper to each signer. Since Village Trustees are elected “at-large”, a citizen of the Village could sign Nomination Papers for no more than three different candidates for Trustee and one for Village President.
In order to be placed on the ballot, the Nomination Papers, Campaign Registration Statement and Declaration of Candidacy must then be filed with the Village Clerk by 5:00 p.m. on January 5, 2021. Once received, the Nomination Papers will be reviewed for sufficiency.
