The search for an interim appointee as Pinal County Clerk of Superior Court has been extended.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey will fill the vacancy created by the April 26 resignation of Amanda Stanford, a Republican elected as clerk of the court. She took office in January 2015.

Applications will be accepted until 5 p.m. on May 29 for the $63,800 position. A copy of the application and instructions for applying can be downloaded at www.bc.azgovernor.gov.

To qualify for appointment, applicants must be eligible to vote, a resident of Pinal County, and a registered Republican.

The Governor’s Office will review applications and interview qualified applicants in order for Ducey to make an interim appointment, until a clerk can be elected during the next regular general election in 2022.

The office of the Clerk of the Superior Court maintains the accuracy and integrity of judicial records for the Pinal County Superior Court.
