municipal election

Local government ballot

A municipal election is a vote to choose local government officials—mayors, city council members, school board representatives, and similar positions.

These elections typically draw lower turnout than state or national contests despite directly affecting local services like roads, police, and zoning: Municipal elections are next Tuesday.
