NEWS Most candidates waiting for election filing deadline By Bill Donovan Special to the Times WINDOW ROCK - The latest readout of people who have gone to the election office to pick up filing papers for the upcoming election as well as those who have paid their filing fees shows that a lot of people are taking a wait-and-see attitude. While the filing of candidates is usually slow in tribal elections, the last two weeks have seen only a handful of new candidates picking up filing papers and no new candidates for president. People have until May 28 to officially file their candidacy and pay their fees ($1,500 for tribal chairman, $500 for council and $200 for other positions), and election officials said they are expecting that most will probably do it, as happened in past elections, in the last two days before the deadline.
