The filing period for the Nov. 6 election opens on Monday, July 16 and closes on Thursday, Aug. 9. All City Council prospective candidates should initiate the candidacy process with the Placerville City Clerk prior to July 19. This will allow the candidates sufficient time to gather the required number of valid signatures of Placerville residents.
Two, full four-year City Council terms and one full four-year Treasurer term will be voted upon at the Nov. 6 general election. To become a candidate for City Council or City Treasurer, prospective candidates must make an appointment with the City Clerk and obtain declaration of candidacy forms and other documents required by the California Elections Code and the Fair Political Practices Commission. Completed forms must be returned to the City Clerk by no later than 2 p.m. on Aug. 9 in order for the signatures to be verified by the El Dorado County Elections Department.
