Voters in the Columbia Falls area will receive mail-in ballots in April for a May 8 election involving five fire district boards:

• Badrock - two 3-year positions.

• Blankenship - one 3-year position.

• Columbia Falls - one 3-year position and one 1-year position.

• Coram-West Glacier - two 3-year positions.

• Martin City - two 3-year positions.

Anyone interested in running for these positions needs at least five registered voters in that district to sign a nomination petition. Deadline to file is Feb. 23.

If only one person files for a position, that person will be declared the winner, and there will be no election for that position.
