Potential Candidate Residence Verification
for the March 5, 2024 Election*

* Verification of residence does not indicate a potential candidate has qualified to be on the ballot.  The Council and Mayor Residency Act requires verification of residence before any person files nomination papers for City of Fresno Office.

PLEASE NOTE:  Article VI of the City of Fresno Council and Mayor Residency Act requires incumbents file annual verifications to ensure they continue to live in the district / City they represent.  These verifications are due at the end of each year in office. Article VI also requires that, within 60 days of a move to a new residence, incumbents verify with the City Clerk that the new address remains within the district represented.  Residency is verified for all potential City Council and Mayoral candidates before nominations papers can be filed pursuant to Article V.
