The filing period has not yet been set for Charleston County Council candidates, but with two council members having announced they will not seek re-election this year, three people already have declared that they will run.

Five of the nine County Council seats will be on the ballot in November; Dist. 1 (Joe McKeown), Dist. 2 (Dickie Schweers), Dist. 5 (Teddie Pryor), Dist. 8 (Curtis Inabinett), and Dist. 9 (Paul Thurmond). Inabinett and Thurmond have announced they will not seek re-election.
