The county council is calling for applications to fill three seats on the Public Election Fund Committee by 5 p.m. on April 12.
One of the vacancies is due to a resignation on the committee, thus the selected applicant will serve only a partial term. The other two seats are newly created positions as a recently passed bill expanded the committee from five to seven members.
The current term will end on April 30, 2023.
