The filing period for city and town offices opened May 2, but so far no candidates have filed in any of the three communities [Gilbert, Mesa, and Chandler] in the Southeast Valley
The filing period closes June 1.
Town clerks say it’s not unusual for candidates to wait until closer to the deadline to file.
All of the positions up for grabs this year are four-year terms.
The Mesa City Council : half of the six members will be replaced in Districts 1, 2, and 3.
In Mesa, three councilmen can’t seek re-election because they’ve been elected twice, the maximum stretch for a person to be on the Mesa City Council.
Exiting the council at the end of the year, according to Mesa City Clerk DeeAnn Mickelson,
are the following:
Dennis Kavanaugh
Dave Richins
Alex Finter
Mesa Mayor: John Giles is hoping to hold on to his seat in the office he's occupied since 2014
Mayor John Giles’ term ends this year, too, but he’s eligible for re-election.
Giles has already announced he’ll run for office and said he plans to officially file on May 23.
In Arizona municipal elections, there is no limit to the number of candidates who can run for particular positions in the primary election.
If more than two candidates file for a particular council seat or for mayor, the primary election narrows the field to two candidates per seat who advance to the Nov. 8 general election.
If only one candidate files for any particular seat, the primary election occurs, but no general election is held for that seat.
The deadline to register to vote in the primary election is Aug. 1.
People can register at Maricopa County government offices or local city halls.
Early voting runs from Aug. 3 to Aug. 25.
