Councilwoman Vanessa Perry has announced she will not seek election and will instead focus on furthering awareness for suicide prevention. This means the filing deadline will be extended 1-week.

The Nomination Period for this election runs through August 12, 2016. If an incumbent whose term is expiring should not file by 5:00 p.m. on August 12, 2016, the nomination period will be extended until 6:00 p.m. on August 17, 2016 for non-incumbents only.

Filing papers may be obtained during regular business hours at the Office of the City Clerk, Oakley City Hall, 3231 Main Street in Oakley. A nominee must be a registered voter residing within the City of Oakley. Individuals who are interested in running for office are strongly encouraged to make an appointment with the City Clerk or Election Official to review and obtain papers to run for office.
