Extension of Candidate Filing Period for November 6, 2018 General Municipal Election – OFFICE OF COUNCILMEMBER ONLY

The filing period for non-incumbents for the office of Councilmember in the City of Alameda has been extended to Wednesday, August 15, 2018. The filing period has been extended beyond the initial deadline because an incumbent failed to file nomination papers. The filing extension does not apply to the office of Mayor.

Every elected officer of the City shall be a registered voter of the City at the time of filing nomination papers and for a period of thirty (30) days immediately preceding the date of filing.

Nomination documents are available during regular business hours (Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) in the City Clerk’s Office, Room 380, City Hall, Alameda, California. For information, please contact the City Clerk’s office at 510-747-4800.
