Keep the election types clear
General elections and municipal elections happen on different schedules. The next election shown here is November 3, 2026.
See the city officesCan I still register close to Election Day?
Available options depend on the date and your circumstances. As of this October 26, 2026 research check, use official county guidance for in-person grace-period and same-day options. Do not assume the ordinary online-registration window remains open.
Is a seat on the ballot an empty position?
No. It means the office is scheduled for election. It does not mean the current officeholder has left, or that they have announced whether they will run again.
Can someone participate here if they cannot vote?
Yes. Civic information, public meetings, public-records resources, and neighborhood concerns are useful beyond the voting process. Voter registration has its own eligibility requirements.
