City & town elections

City, school-district and utility-district elections may add contests that are not in the state certification. Their boundaries can cross county lines. Use your county’s November sample ballot for the complete local list.

A postal city is not proof of residence inside city limits. Citywide offices and ward seats have different electorates. School-system boundaries can also differ from county and city boundaries.
