In 2014, such election is required for Wards 3 and 4, each for a three-year term. The staff has prepared Resolution No. 2013-23 which calls for an election to be conducted for City Council Wards 3 and 4. In addition, the proposed resolution identifies the process to be followed in order to meet all legal requirements and allows for proper notification to the Tulsa County and Rogers County Election Boards. The filing period for interested candidates will be February 3, 4, and 5, 2014. All candidates must file a Declaration of Candidacy form with the Tulsa County Election Board between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on any of these dates. Only qualified electors who reside within the ward shall be qualified to hold the office of City Council Member for that ward. The primary election is set by the City Charter and will be held on March 4, 2014. All registered voters residing within the city limits of the City of Owasso may vote in the election. Should one of the candidates not receive the majority of all votes cast for the particular ward, a general election will be held. The general election, if necessary, will be held on April 1, 2014.
