The City Recorder serves as the City’s Election Officer by issuing measures to the City voters through a State regulated process and in coordination with the Klamath County Clerk. The City Recorder accepts applications for the positions of Mayor and City Council and coordinates elections for the Positions of Mayor and City Council Ward Districts I-V. The City Recorder oversees all City Boards and Committees.
Regular City elections are held at the same time and place as biennial general State elections and in accordance with applicable State Election Laws. The Council may provide for special elections in accordance with such laws. Legal notices are published in conjunction with elections stating the officers to be elected, the ballot title of each measure to be voted upon, and the time and place of the election.
To be eligible for City elective office, a candidate must be a registered voter and must have resided in the City continuously for four years immediately preceding the election. City Council candidates must also be a resident of their respective Ward. The position of Mayor is elected by the City voters at large.
