Voters in Fort Dodge will elect a mayor and six of seven city council members this year.

Nomination petitions are accepted at the municipal clerk’s office. Three incumbents – Mayor Matt Bemrich and council members Kim Alstott and Lydia Schuur – have already announced their candidacies for re-election.

The general election will take place on November 2.

A primary election, if necessary, will take place on October 5. But a primary election will only take place for races in which there are more than two candidates. The first two voters in a primary election would go on to the general election.

To vote, candidates must file nomination petitions and affidavits of nomination at the City Clerk’s Office in the City Building, 819 First Ave. S. Petitions must be signed by a specified number of people based on the number of people who voted. for this position in the last general election.

• Mayor: 62

• General Council: 55

• Council Quarter 1:10

• Council Quarter 2:10
