Elections are an important part of local government, giving residents the opportunity to help shape the future of their community. Through the election process, voters select leaders and make decisions on issues that affect City services, infrastructure, public safety, parks and other community priorities. Elections ensure that local government remains accountable to the people it serves and provide a transparent way for residents to have their voices heard. This page is designed to provide information about upcoming elections, candidate filing, ballot questions, voter resources and important election dates to help residents stay informed and engaged in the democratic process.
