Call for Councilmembers and At-large Mayor opens July 18.
Did you know that how you vote in Belmont in November has changed? When you vote on Nov. 8 this year, you will choose councilmembers in Districts 1 and 3 for the VERY FIRST TIME, and you will also select an At-large Mayor for a 2-year term.
In 2021, Belmont shifted to a new model for voting by identifying four districts that equally represent Belmont on our City Council.
Want to be a candidate? Starting July 18 and only until Aug. 12, 2022, Belmont's nomination period is open for Councilmembers for Districts 1 and 3 AND At-large Mayor. (Districts 2, 4, and At-large Mayor will be up in 2024).
To find all of the details – and a map of districts – visit www.Belmont.gov/Districts.
An appointment is required for all interested candidates. Call our City Clerk at:
(650)-595-7413 or email at [email protected]. Candidates will be announced Aug. 19.
