The City of Salida will begin distributing candidate election packets for the upcoming 2025 municipal election on Tuesday, August 5.

This election cycle, voters will choose:

  • One City Council member from each ward, and
  • A new Mayor, as current Mayor Dan Shore has announced he will not seek re-election after serving eight years in city government — four on council and four as mayor.

To qualify for the ballot, candidates must:

  • Meet residency and voter registration requirements, and
  • Collect a minimum of 25 valid signatures from registered voters.

Packets and additional information will be available at Salida City Hall and on the city’s website at cityofsalida.com.
