If no candidate earns a majority of the vote in the primary, a runoff between the two highest vote-getters will take place on April 2.
Those running for local offices typically must have lived in the jurisdiction for at least one year and not be in debt to the municipality. In addition, those who have been convicted of a felony are not allowed to run.
