Qualifying for a March 18 special election to fill an unexpired term on the Floyd County Commission ended Wednesday with five candidates signing up to run.
The candidates are Shonna Bailey, Chip Hood, Tona Shepard, David Thornton, and Corey Townsend all signed up to run.
The Post Four seat was left vacant by the passing of Larry Maxey late last year.
Early voting will begin on February 24.
If no candidate gets over 50 percent, a runoff between the top two vote-getters will be on April 15.
