Urgent reminders have been mailed to candidates for office in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties, asking them to get their candidate surveys in to the Enquirer for the Election Guide.

        The reminders include two options for filing and an extended deadline of Oct. 8.

        Candidates are asked to go to the Enquirer's Web site at Enquirer.com/candidates to fill out the Nov. 5 Kentucky Election Guide information form and to e-mail a mug shot to photo@enquirer.com; or to fill out a paper form enclosed in the reminder and get it and a mug shot to The Kentucky Enquirer as soon as possible.

        The Web method is preferred.

        The Web site asks candidates for information including: Name, office being sought, political party (if applicable), age, education, experience, qualifications and top issues. Candidates for non-partisan races should choose “Independent” under the party selection and type: “Non-Partisan Race” in the top issues area.

        The candidate information should be posted to the Web or received at the Enquirer office at 226 Grandview Drive in Fort Mitchell by Tuesday, Oct. 8 to be included in the comprehensive print and online guide to candidates.

        To e-mail mug shots: In the subject line of the e-mail, please enter the words “Election Mug” and the candidate's name. In the body of the e-mail, please type the candidate's full name, the race they are in, city or district the race is in, and county.

        Examples: Jane C. Candidate, School Board, Beechwood, Kenton County.

        Karen R. Contender, County Attorney, Boone County.

        Margaret A. Winner, City Commission, Newport, Campbell County.

        Photos should be clear headshots saved as a jpeg file with a 500 dpi resolution.

        The Nov. 5 elections in the three counties feature more than 500 candidates, so early filing would be of great assistance.

        With questions about the process, call (859) 578-5555 weekdays between 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

        Kentucky registered write-in candidates should call this number for information on filing their information.
