The August 26, 2014, general election in Clay County featured three seats up for election. Only the District 3 race was decided in the general election. Challenger Betsy Condon defeated incumbent Tina Bullock to win the seat.

The general election determined if candidates for each seat could garner a majority of the vote total. Because no candidate received 50 percent plus one of the general election votes in Districts 1 and 5, the top two vote recipients advanced to the runoff election on November 4, 2014.

Janice Kerekes faced a challenge from Kenny Leigh and Amber Harmony Shepherd in District 1. Kerekes and Leigh advanced to the runoff election. Sandra Dunnavant, Ashley Gilhousen and Brian Graham ran to replace Lisa Graham, who did not file for re-election in District 5. Gilhousen and Dunnavant advanced to the runoff election to fill the open seat.
