p>Two more candidates are on the list for Henryetta's Ward 2 city council seat as of 4 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.
Christy Jeffcoat and Ronald D. Lee have filed for that seat now held by Audie Cole. They join Mike Pemberton who filed early Monday.
Candidates still have until 5 p.m. Wednesday to get their names on the ballot.
In Monday's news release from the election board, the lone candidate for Ward 1 was listed as Mark Shannon. County election board secretary Ava Ridgeway said that was a mistake and the candidate is Shannon Scott.
She was also questioned about the eligibility of Pemberton and Lee to run for the Ward 2 seat. Both listed their home addresses as West Trudgeon. The Ward 2 boundary runs west on Division from Fourth Street.
"It is up to one of the candidates to protest the eligibility of other candidates," Ridgeway said Tuesday afternoon. That protest would have to be filed following the close of the filing period.
Other candidates filing for office around the county include:
Dewar: Board of Trustees Office 1, Amber Brison; Board of Trustees Office 2, David Heath; Board of Trustees Office 3, Amber Smith and, Board of Trustees Office 5, Kevin Westmoreland.
Beggs: City Council Ward 2: Verna J. Barnes; Council Ward 4, Burt Homes; City Clerk: Doris M. Tharp and O.G. Corky Thompson; City Treasurer: Emma Hill.
Morris: Mayor: Carolyn Haworth; Council Ward 1 Seat A: Wayne Payne; Council Ward 4 Seat A, Shawn Maverick Fritsche.
