City Council Elections

 


WAITSBURG – It’s time for anyone interested in a position on Waitsburg’s City Council to make their intent known while being aware of important deadlines. The top vote recipients – five for council and one for mayor – are elected to one-year terms.

Candidates must submit a Declaration of Candidacy with the Waitsburg city clerk within the first ten working days of March, which means they must be filed between March 2 and March 13. Caucuses may only be held between 35 and 25 days prior to the election, which means they must take place by March 10 this year. The election, which is always on the first Monday in April, is April 6th this year. Ballots are mailed out about two weeks prior.

Preliminary results will be posted at City Hall and the City of Waitsburg website (www.cityofwaitsburg.com) after the polls close at 8 p.m. on election day. The City Council will certify the results at the first meeting following the election and the new slate of candidates generally takes over at the following meeting.

The Waitsburg Commercial Club is hosting a Waitsburg City Council Candidate Forum on March 3 at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall and invites incumbent and new candidates to speak and field questions from the audience.

Visit City Hall or email the city clerk at rjhinch@gotvc.net with any questions regarding the election process.
