How to Contact Your City Clerk

Role of the City Clerks

"I look forward to working with my esteemed colleagues to provide accurate and fair elections. This year will be a special challenge as we introduce every voter in every city to the eSlate, our new electronic voting machines." - Warren Slocum

City Clerks are often the backbone of the city.  Their many duties range from, serving as the official Filing Officer for a city’s candidates, measures, and initiative/referendum proceedings, providing support to the City Council, maintaining and administering all official records of the City and of a City-wide records management program, preparing and distributing agendas for the City Council and other commissions or agencies and, in some cities, administering city elections.
