Correction In the story about election petitions on page 5A of last week’s News-Leader, it was incorrectly stated that August 2 is the date of the upcoming general election. The actual date is August 6. The error was due to Aug. 2 being listed as the date on the Carroll County Election Commission’s website. Carroll County NEWS-LEADER, Wednesday, April 8, 2020 Page 3A LOCAL NEWS Petition submissions closed for Aug. 6 elections The deadline for submitting petitions to run in the August 6 general elections was last Thursday, so the candidate field for those elections is pretty much set.
