(SELMA) -- Two Selma candidates who were once not allowed on the November ballot will be allowed to run for office.
On Monday, a Superior Court judge decided to allow mayoral candidate Charles Hester and town council hopeful Tommy Holmes onto the ballot.
Election board members decided Hester and Holmes should not be on the ballot even though they missed a filing deadline because of a town clerk's mistake.
On Monday, a Superior Court judge decided to allow mayoral candidate Charles Hester and town council hopeful Tommy Holmes onto the ballot.
They filled out the paperwork at town hall the morning of August 5th. But Selma officials failed to deliver that paperwork to the board of elections by the noon deadline.
To prevent the problem from happening again, the county's Board of Elections voted that future municipal candidates must file their paperwork only at the Board's office and not their individual town halls.
