Vetting is the process of assessing a person’s suitability for a particular office. This typically involves conducting background checks and verifying references.
According to the Secretary of State’s office, for the Missouri elections this year, the filing period for candidates from all parties opens on February 27th and closes one month later, on March 26th. The primary election on August 6th nominates candidates for the November 5th general election. Candidate filings will be accepted for county, district, and statewide offices.
