All nomination papers shall be filed with the city elections official (City Clerk) during regular business hours as posted, not later than the 88th day before the election (January 17, 2025 at 5 p.m.). Until that time, but not after, a candidate may withdraw his or her nomination paper after it is filed with the elections official as provided in this section. Time Extension If Incumbent Fails To File Section 10225 (a) Notwithstanding Sections 10220 and 10224, if nomination papers for an incumbent officer of the City are not filed by or on the 88th day before the election (January 17, 2025 at 5 p.m.), the voters shall have until the 83rd day before the election (January 22, 2025 at 5:30 p.m.) to nominate candidates other than the person who was the incumbent on the 88th day, for that incumbent's elective office. NOTE: The nomination period will not be extended as there is no eligible incumbent for Council District 5. Confidentiality/Nomination Papers Section 17100(b) Nomination papers are confidential documents until the close of the nomination period. Following the close of the nomination period, nomination documents may be viewed but not photocopied or distributed because they contain signatures of voters.
