SUBJECT: Ward 1 and Ward 2 City Council Election

OCT 2 0 2020
Pursuant to the provisions of the Owasso City Charter, governing the election of City Council
members, "the Council shall take action by Resolution to call any necessary Ward Elections." In
2021, such election is required for Ward 1 and Ward 2, each for a three -year term. All registered
voters residing within the Owasso City limits may vote in the election, regardless of the Council
Ward in which they reside.
In 2015, statutory requirements for elections conducted by the County Election Boards were
amended. The City of Owasso utilizes the Tulsa County Election Board to facilitate City elections;
therefore, City elections are affected by those changes and create conflict with provisions
contained in the City's Charter regarding election dates.. Resolutions not conforming to the
statutory requirements will not be accepted, nor will the election be conducted by the County
Election Board.
A Resolution calling the election must be submitted to the Election Board by November 20, 2020.
Staff has prepared Resolution 2020 -19, calling the Ward 1 and Ward 2 election.
ELECTION DETAILS:
• The primary election will be held on Tuesday, February 9, 2021.
• 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 Tuesday, April 6, 2021.
FILING PERIOD FOR INTERESTED CANDIDATES:
• Registered voters who reside within the ward shall be qualified to hold the office of City
Council Member for that ward.
The filing period for interested candidates will be December 7, 8, and 9, 2020, between
the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
• Interested candidates must file a notarized Declaration of Candidacy form with the Tulsa
County Election Board.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2020 -19.
