Upcoming Elections
A lot happens at the local level in between presidential elections!
Each election below highlights only the major offices appearing on the ballot for that cycle. Several more minor offices – like water districts – can be found on the separate page for that election.
Many local offices are nominally nonpartisan. That simply means there is not party primary, nor any party identification for the candidates on the ballot. Political parties may still organize to support preferred candidates. Where a party is indicated below, it represents the party affiliation on the incumbent’s personal voter registration. It does not indicate a party endorsement of the officeholder.
