Just one Rock County office will have a competitive primary race at the Sept. 10 election.
An unusually high number of seven people have filed for the Rock County Auditor/Treasurer position by Tuesday's deadline: Lisa Ahrendt DeBoer, Nic 'O Lena Bosch, Gloria F. Rolfs, Johnna Bowron-Ahrendt, Kim Gehrke, Candace R. Reese and Ona Reker.
Voters will choose just one candidate per ballot, and the two candidates garnering the most votes overall will advance to the November general elections.
No other local offices in the county or city of Luverne will appear on the primary ballot because, at the most, two have filed.
