Dubois County Opens Candidate Filing Window and Posts Service Notices
Dubois County government and the City of Jasper have posted meeting schedules, courthouse closures, and service notices as the county opens its candidate filing period for the 2026 primary. These announcements affect anyone planning to run for office, attend public meetings, or travel on local roads, and residents should confirm agendas, forms, and closures before making plans.
Today Dubois County and the City of Jasper are posting routine but consequential public schedules and notices that matter to residents and prospective candidates. The Dubois County Clerk’s Office is handling candidate filings for the 2026 primary; the filing window opened January 7, 2026, and will close at noon on February 6, 2026. Prospective candidates who intend to appear on primary ballots must complete the Declaration of Candidacy (CAN-2) and follow the clerk’s filing procedures.
County and city calendars also list regular meetings for county commissioners, city councils, and board sessions, plus courthouse closures. Agendas, meeting-room locations and official minutes are published through county and city government portals and on published calendars maintained by local public broadcasters and the county’s primary news outlet. Residents planning to attend meetings or to participate in public comment periods should check those official postings in advance to confirm times, locations and any procedural requirements for speakers.
Infrastructure notices posted by the Dubois County Highway Department and municipal public works pages include short-term street projects, culvert replacements and other maintenance that may require detours or temporary road closures. Commuters and anyone who relies on a specific route are advised to consult the county highway or city public works pages before travel to avoid delays.
For document and records requests, candidate filing forms and other official business, the Dubois County Clerk’s Office, the county recorder and the City of Jasper clerk’s office are the appropriate contacts. These offices publish filing windows, deadlines and hours on their pages and through local news channels; if you need an exact form, to file paperwork, or to make a FOIA/records request, contact the specific office directly to confirm current hours and submission instructions.
These routine administrative postings may appear prosaic, but they are central to local governance: they set the timetable for democratic participation, preserve access to public records, and keep the county’s transportation network functioning. Residents who stay informed about posted agendas, filing deadlines and maintenance notices are best positioned to exercise their rights as voters, engage with elected officials, and avoid unnecessary travel disruptions.
