With the filing deadline for the Nuckolls County May primary election approaching, there are still two open positions on the ballot - one for the Nelson City Council and one for the Superior City Council. Incumbent Levi Gunn has filed to retain his Superior City Council seat, and John Hodge has filed to retain his position as county attorney, but no other candidates have filed for the two remaining open positions.
Why it matters
The upcoming primary election will determine the candidates who will appear on the general election ballot for key local government positions in Nuckolls County. Having open positions on the primary ballot could lead to fewer choices for voters in the general election if no additional candidates come forward before the filing deadline.
The details
The final deadline for candidates to get their names printed on the Nuckolls County primary election ballot is 6 p.m. on Monday. Before last Tuesday's deadline for incumbents, Levi Gunn filed to retain his Superior City Council seat and John Hodge filed to retain his position as county attorney, leaving one open spot each on the ballots for the Nelson and Superior City Council positions.
- The final deadline for candidates to file is 6 p.m. on Monday, February 26, 2026.
