2009 Municipal Election Dates and Information
Municipal elections are nonpartisan and are held in odd-numbered years to elect the city mayor and council members. These elections are administered by the City Recorders although many cities contract for election services from the County Clerk. Polling locations may be different than those used in even-numbered years since precincts are consolidated as a cost-saving measure. If you have any questions regarding municipal elections, please contact your City Recorder. Countywide elections are held in even-numbered years and are administered by the County Clerk.
The legislature passed a new law which has been in effect since May 12, 2009, all voters must present voter identification to the poll worker before voting. The identification must be valid and show your name and photograph, OR you may provide (2) two different documents that show your name and current address.
