November 5 Local Election Sample Ballots
On November 5, many metro-area cities and counties will be holding local elections for mayors, city councils, and other local positions. Some will also be holding special elections to fill vacant positions or to vote on referenda.
Since information on local elections can sometimes be hard to find, we have identified sample ballots for the majority of the local elections being held next week. The links are listed below.
