ROSEBURG, Ore. — The filing period has opened for the 2025 Special Districts Election which will take place on May 20, 2025, and the deadline to file for special district candidacy is March 20, the Douglas County Clerk reports.

There are currently 223 positions open for filing. Additionally, there are shared district positions, which can be filed for with Lane and Coos counties.

Elections for Special Districts in Oregon are held every two years, in the odd years (2023, 2025, 2027, etc.). Generally, a term for a Special District board position is four years. Individuals who wish to file for candidacy for one of the many board member vacancies existing on fire, school, road and many other local districts, must submit their forms (and $10 fee) to the Douglas County Clerk's office no later than 5 p.m. on March 20. This can be accomplished via the postal system, also.
