Run for City Council

Interested in running for Sierra Vista City Council? Contact Jill Adams, Sierra Vista City Clerk, at (520) 458-3315 to learn how to get on the ballot for City Council.

Candidates are required to file several documents with the City Clerk’s office. The first form you need to file is the Candidate Statement of Interest form. This form must be filed with the City Clerk's Office before obtaining any petition signatures. 

After filing the Candidate Statement of Interest form, you will be contacted by the City Clerk's Office to set up a brief meeting to review the forms and information needed to qualify to be placed on the ballot. Other forms that you will be required to complete include Finance Reports, Statement of Organization, and a Candidate Termination if you cease your campaign.

If you are wishing to run for a Cochise County position, please see the Cochise County Elections website.

Online Petition System

Due to the unique circumstances of our election this year, we are not able to use the online petition platform for city council petitions. As a result, the City has decided to not use the system for the 2026 mayoral petition as well. 

This action only affects the City of Sierra Vista races.
