Elections

The City Clerk is the local Elections Official for the City. Regular elections are scheduled on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each year. The Mayor and Council are elected for two-year terms with the Mayor’s and a Council Member seat elected on odd years and the three remaining Council Members’ seats elected on even years. Elections are non-partisan and all seats are at large.

Each candidate seeking the office of Mayor or City Councilmember shall be a qualified elector and shall have resided within the incorporated City limits for over one consecutive year immediately prior to the time for qualifying for office with the City Clerk.
