Candidates for Mayor and Ward Councilor in Wards Two, Five and Six gathered at the City Clerk’s Office on Monday August 5th to witness the drawing to determine the ballot position of their names for the upcoming September 17th City Preliminary Election.

Councilor Ward Two

Another drawing will be held after the preliminary to determine ballot position for the November General Election.
