In 2024, such election is required for Ward 1 and Ward 2 for a three -year term. 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 Ward 1 and Ward 2 election must be submitted to the Election Board by November 17. 2023. All registered voters residing within the Owasso City limits may vote in the election, regardless of the Council Ward in which they reside. ELECTION DETAILS: The primary election will be held on Tuesday, February 13, 2024. • 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 2, 2024. FILING PERIOD FOR INTERESTED CANDIDATES: The filing period for interested candidates will be December 4, 5, and 6, 2023, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. • Registered voters who reside within the ward shall be qualified to hold the office of City Council Member for that ward. • Interested candidates must file a notarized Declaration of Candidacy form with the Tulsa County Election Board.
