Extension of Candidate Filing Period

Extension of Candidate Filing Period for November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election – OFFICE OF COUNCILMEMBER ONLY

The filing period for the office of Councilmember in the City of Alameda has been extended to Wednesday, August 12, 2026. The filing period has been extended beyond the filing deadline because an incumbent eligible to serve another term did not file nomination papers. The filing extension only applies to the office of Councilmember and does not apply to the office of Mayor.

Anyone interested in running for the office of Councilmember (other than the current incumbent) can pull and file nomination documents during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) in the City Clerk’s Office: City Hall, 2263 Santa Clara Avenue, Room 380, Alameda, California. For information, please contact the City Clerk’s office at 510-747-4800 or clerk@alamedaca.gov.

Every elected officer of the City of Alameda is required to be a registered voter of the City at the time of filing nomination papers and for a period of 30 days immediately preceding the date of filing.
