Qualifying Dates & Fees
Qualifying for the 2025 Municipal Election will begin on Monday, August 18, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. and conclude on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 4:30 p.m., in the office of the Clerk of Council at Garden City Hall, 100 Central Avenue. The qualifying fee is $360 for the Office of City Council Member. The qualifying fee shall be paid to the Clerk of Council, who serves as the Municipal Election Qualifying Officer when the candidate files his/her Notice of Candidacy Affidavit at the time of qualifying. Qualifying fees can be paid by check, money order, or cash.
In the event a candidate for municipal office pays his or her qualifying fee with a check that is subsequently returned for insufficient funds, the superintendent shall automatically find that such candidate has not met the qualification for holding the office being sought. A written certification from the bank, credit union, or other financial institution returning the check that it erred in returning the check will prevent such an automatic finding so long as the certification is received by the superintendent within two weeks after the deadline for qualifying.
