Barring a surge of write-in voters, several candidates for office already have been elected because no one else filed for those offices.
Two incumbents will have opponents; one will be in the primary and one in the general election.
The deadline for filing for office was noon Tuesday.
According to a list of filings from the office of Lyon County Clerk Karen Hartenbower, four current office-holders face no opposition in the August primary — Treasurer Dora Hartig, Democrat; Register of Deeds Vicky Lopez, Sheriff Gary Eichorn, and County Attorney Marc Goodman, all Republicans.
Long-time state representative from the 76th District, Peggy Mast, will defend her seat in a primary election in which she will face fellow Republican Tony Trimble of Coffey County. The district includes two precincts in Emporia, much of Lyon County and Coffey County and a portion of Greenwood County.
State Senator Jim Barnett, 17th District Republican, will be opposed in the November general election by Democrat Kitty Frank.
