I want to run for City Council. What is the process to get on the ballot?

Category: City Council
First you must be a legally domiciled resident in the district for which you intend to run, unless running for an At-Large seat. Second, you must submit nomination papers in the form of a petition of signatures from 50 registered voters from within your district. This paperwork is available at the City Clerk's office. Once your residency and the 50 signatures are certified by the City Clerk, your name will appear on a ballot. Alternatively, you might engage in a "sticker campaign". Consult the City Clerk's office for information about this type of candidacy.
