Those elections occur in the "off years," the odd numbered years. Special district rules in oregon law
EVEN YEARS
The even numbered years, on the other hand, have the gubenatorial, senate, presidential house (both U.S. and state) position's elections, with the Primary in May and General in November. ORS 254.056 for dates

Willamina and Sheridan schools are predominantly Yamhill County populated, therefore, candidates file with the Yamhill County Clerk.
