CITY QUESTION 2 (St. Paul)
Changing City Elections to Presidential Election years.

Shall Chapter 7 (Elections) of the City Charter be amended as follows: Sec. 7.01. - City elections.
The election of city officers and such other officers as are required by law to be elected at a city

election shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in odd numbered

presidential election years. Notwithstanding Section 2.02 of this Charter setting four-year terms,

and to transition to presidential election years, councilmembers elected on November 7, 2023, shall

serve a five-year term and a mayoral election shall occur on November 4, 2025, for a three-year term.

presidential election years, which occur in even years. A “no” vote keeps City elections in odd

years.
