A three-day filing window that closed March 12 drew 15 Los Alamos residents to the Municipal Building to formally declare their candidacies for local office, signaling a competitive election season ahead for the county.

The filings spanned multiple races, with County Council seats attracting the heaviest interest. Eight of the 15 candidates submitted paperwork seeking a place on the council, making that body's contests the most crowded of the filing period.

The Municipal Building served as the processing point for all filings during the March 10-12 window. The county's filing roundup, tracked by the Los Alamos Daily Post, confirmed the final tally once the period closed on March 12.
