CULLMAN – The Cullman County Republican Party has announced qualifying dates for the 2018 Republican primary election. Those interested in running for public office may qualify from Jan. 8, 2018 to Feb. 9, 2018.
Local GOP Chairman Waid Harbison said that if candidates do not qualify with the Republican Party during the specified timeframe, they will not be able to run for office on the Republican Party ballot during the 2018 election cycle.
