How do I find out about running for Mayor in my town?

Question

What do I need to know? How long is the term? Where should I start (besides here)?

Answer 1

Look at your town's website.  Contact your local government (town hall) or contact the board of elections.  You usually need a petition signed.  If you're affiliated with a party, they can assist with the process and you should contact them.  These numbers should be in your phone book  (usually right in the front under local government).  Good luck!!

Answer 2

Unless you are trying to oust the current Mayor, I'd give the Mayor a call and set up a personal interview.  I'm sure he or she would be delighted to give you a jump start and clue you in on what exactly your obligations would be.  I'm sure you could get some info from Google or Yahoo search engines too.

Answer 3

Ask PHIL DIRTBOX  he was candidate for London, alas he lost to the s**y, charismatic, erudite, handsome Boris he only gained 2 votes,but he would tell you the procedure,
