A city election will be held June 10. Early voting will be on the grounds of City Hall May 28-June 7, at the temporary Municipal Court on 4th Street, adjacent to the main building. City employees will place signage each day during early voting so it is clear to residents where they can cast their ballots. For this election, one council member from each of the city’s five wards will be elected to four-year terms. In Wards 1-3, the incumbents are the only candidates on the ballot. Wards 4 and 5 have contested races. There is no race for mayor in the 2025 election, as the current mayor’s term does not expire until 2027.
