City ClerkElection Information General Municipal Elections are held in June on even numbered years. The elective officers of the City consist of a City Council made up of five council members who serve “at large” representing the entire community, rather than a particular district. The City Council Members are elected to four-year overlapping terms. In order to be eligible to hold any elective office in the city of Porterville, a person must be a resident and registered voter therein, and shall have resided in Porterville for at least thirty days preceding the filing of their nominating papers, or equivalent declaration or candidacy, and be a registered voter at the time of filing. The nomination period opens in early February and appropriate papers to file and run for office may be obtained from the City Clerk. Due to the magnitude of forms, schedules and timelines during an election period, potential candidates for office are encouraged to schedule an orientation meeting with the City Clerk prior to the filing period. Potential candidates are required to gather a minimum of twenty valid signatures of registered Porterville voters on a required nomination form supplied by the City Clerk. Based on a schedule established by the Fair Political Practices Commission (“FPPC”), candidates are required to file statements reporting all campaign contributions and expenditures for the designated time period. These reports are public record, and are available for public review in the City Clerk’s Office.
