Councilmember Tess Albin-Smith was told on August 8, 2022 that she could wait to submit her nomination papers up to the extended deadline of August 17, so she turned them in on Aug 15.

To correct this error, she amended her nomination paperwork on Aug 17 to switch her four-year term to a two-year term for which she is not the incumbent.
