Three city council seats on November ballot

Three Sisters City Council seats will be in play in the November 2 general election.

The terms of Councilors Dave Elliott (Mayor), Judy Trego and John Rahm will expire on December 31. All three are eligible to seek reelection.

Those interested in being elected to a city council position must file a "perfected" petition with the City Recorder by 5 p.m., August 24, to be placed on the November 2 general election ballot.

A perfected petition requires obtaining signatures of at least 10 registered voters in the city and certifying them through the Deschutes County Elections Office.

To be eligible for office a person must be a qualified elector within the meaning of the Oregon State Constitution and a resident of the City of Sisters for one full year.

Of the three people elected, the two receiving the highest number of votes will each hold office for four years.

The one receiving the third-highest number of votes will hold office for two years.

Election materials may be picked up at the City Recorder's office at City Hall, 150 N. Fir St. Prospective candidates are encouraged to obtain election materials well in advance of the August 24 filing deadline, according to city staff.
