I have not seen any information on OKC Talk on the upcoming City Council Elections. I live in Ward 3, so posting information for this election. I am posting in this area and not the political area because this is a non-partisan race and do not want to have a toxic discussion. Also, my post is more informational. In my opinion, local elections are just or even more important than national elections. I am always disappointed with how low the vote is for local elections. Local elections can affect your life much greater than national elections.
The election is on February 9th. If a candidate does not get a majority (50%) of the vote, there will be a runoff of the highest two vote-getters. The runoff will be on April 6th. You will vote in the same poll location as the general election.
This is a link for information on the candidates and other election information.
