I want to run for office.
The City of Algoma is divided into four aldermanic districts with two alderpersons per district.  Terms are two years and each year there is one alderperson from each district up for re-election.  The Mayor is elected for two year terms in even numbered years.  The City of Algoma uses the nomination paper process to get your name on the ballot.  On December 1st of the year preceding the election, you may distribute nomination papers and obtain signatures from persons living in your district to have your name put on the ballot. If 3 or more persons submit papers for the same office, a primary election would be held in February. The Spring Election is then held on the first Tuesday in April. Alderpersons take office on the third Tuesday in April and serve a two year term.
Please contact the City Clerk at 920-487-5203 or erin.mueller@algomacity.org to request a candidate packet.
