Only 36 people had filed petitions for election as of Tuesday afternoon. That number is low, considering 77 seats will be open for competition in this fall’s races, according to the Lawrence County Board of Elections.

This year’s political races cover seats on school boards, city and village councils and township boards of trustees.

The most competition could come in the race for Ironton City Council where five seats will be determined by the November vote.

Townships will elect two trustees whose terms expire, while each school district will elect either two or three members.
