Many issues currently face the School Board and City Council.  Who will Piedmont citizens elect to represent them in crucial decisions and far-reaching actions on these issues? Will it be you or someone else who would be appropriate in these important positions?

Election campaigns can bring discussion, publicity, citizen involvement, and an open airing of issues.  Think about what you feel is important and either run for an office or seek a person qualified for the November 8, 2022 election.

NOMINATION PERIOD FOR CITY COUNCIL AND BOARD OF EDUCATION

JULY 18TH TO AUGUST 12TH, 2022

The City of Piedmont will hold its General Municipal Election on November 8, 2022.

The nomination period for the three vacancies on the Piedmont City Council and two vacancies on the Board of Education opens on Monday, July 18th.

The deadline for submitting completed paperwork is Friday, August 12th at 5:00 p.m. There is no cost to candidates to file for election.

The City Council and Board of Education are Piedmont’s two elected bodies and guide the operation of City government and the Piedmont Unified School District respectively. Members of these bodies may serve a maximum of 2 consecutive four-year terms.

The City publishes the Guide to Nomination and Candidacy, which provides details about the nomination and candidacy process which prospective candidates should find useful.

Prospective candidates are required to schedule an appointment to take out nomination papers with the City Clerk’s office. An appointment will also be required to submit the nomination papers once the candidate has completed their work. These appointments generally last between 30 minutes and one hour.

Residents with questions about the process or wishing to make an appointment can call the City Clerk’s office at (510) 420-3040 or send an email to cityclerk@piedmont.ca.gov.
