Candidates for Athens City Council offices will not appear on the primary election ballot tomorrow because no two candidates from any party are pursuing the same seat, according to the Athens County Board of Elections.

The following individuals will appear on the November ballot in seeking their respective offices: -Democratic Council President Bill Bias issued his interest in re-election.
-Incumbents Jim Sands, D-at-large, and Carol Patterson, D-2nd Ward, are campaigning for at-large seats available. Democrat Amy Flowers and Republican Matt Bernosky are also contenders for the three at-large seats.

-Democrat Bojinka Bishop will campaign for the 2nd Ward seat.
-Nancy Bain, incumbent 3rd Ward Democrat, will run for re-election.
-Incumbent Deborah Phillips, a Democrat, is the 4th Ward candidate.
-Democrat Mary Ann McClure is seeking re-election to her treasurer position.
