LOGAN – While it might seem like the smoke has barely cleared from the 2024 presidential election, it is nevertheless time to look forward to another municipal election season here for the City of Logan and other communities throughout Cache Valley.
Logan will hold its municipal election this fall to elect two council members and its mayor.
The at-large seats up for grabs are currently held by incumbent city council members Amy Z. Anderson and Ernesto Lopez. Logan’s incumbent mayor is, of course, Holly Daines.
The local window for candidate filing will open at 8 a.m. on Monday, June 2 and close at 5 p.m. on Friday, June 6.
With more than two months to go before that filing deadline, none of those incumbents or other potential candidates have yet indicated whether they plan to throw their hats into the ring.
Persons interested in becoming a candidate for office in any of Cache Valley’s other communities should check their city’s websites for similar applicable deadlines. Office hours for filing will also likely vary from municipality to municipality.
Logan candidates who successfully emerge from the Municipal Election on Tuesday, Nov. 4 will serve four-year terms beginning in January of 2026.
If it is necessary to winnow down the field of candidates in any local municipal elections, a primary will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 12.
The qualifications for candidates seeking office in Logan are that the would-be candidate must be at least 18-years-old; not a convicted felon; be a U.S. citizen; be a registered voter; and a resident of Logan for at least 365 days prior to the date of the municipal election (Nov. 4).
Persons interested in becoming a candidate for office must file a Declaration of Candidacy in person with the Logan City Recorder, 290 North 100 West, Logan, Utah, during regular office hours between June 2 and June 6.
The filing forms are available at the City Recorder’s Office. There is no filing fee.
