The Southeast Missourian recently mailed letters to candidates in contested April 5 races in Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Perry and Scott counties, and candidates for the Advance School Board, inviting them to fill out an online questionnaire for publication in our election guide the Sunday before the April 5 election.

The submitted questionnaires are also posted online at www.semissourian.com/election.

If you are a candidate in a contested election who didn't receive a letter or you have questions about the process, call Matt Sanders, co-managing editor, at 388-3652 or email him at msanders@semissourian.com.
