LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Three cities hoping to host the 2018 Winter Olympics have met the deadline for submitting their preliminary bid files.

The International Olympic Committee said Monday it received the documents from Annecy, France; Munich; and Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Each city completed an IOC questionnaire providing an overview of their bid plans.

A working group will now prepare a report for the 15-member IOC executive board. The board meets in June to confirm the official candidates.

The full IOC assembly will choose the 2018 host by secret ballot at its session in Durban, South Africa, on July 6, 2011.
