Election Update
On Aug. 23, Vestavia voters will have the chance to elect their 2016-2020 city council members and mayor. Vestavia Voice will provide weekly recaps each week leading up to the election, so you can easily keep up with everything you need to know before you vote.
Here’s the latest:
- Correction: In the August print edition, there was an error regarding Paul Head's political experience. Head was noted as serving on the city council since 2008 and listed him as Mayor Pro-Tem. This is incorrect, and is the political experience of Steve Ammons, who is running for re-election to the position. We regret the error.
- Two candidate profiles are available for Paul Head and Rusty Weaver.
- The Vestavia Hills Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Vestavia Hills and the Vestavia Voice are sponsoring an election forum featuring candidates at 6 p.m. on Aug. 15. It will take place at the Vestavia Hills City Hall. The public is invited and encouraged to attend a candidates forum for candidates seeking to serve on the Vestavia Hills City Council. Email Emily Featherston at efeatherston@starnespublishing.com with potential questions for candidates.
Other important information:
- Voters must register by Aug. 8 and regular absentee ballots must be applied for by Aug. 18.
- A runoff election, should it be required, will be held Oct. 4. Elected officials will take office Nov. 7.
- An election guide will be in the August issue of the Vestavia Voice. The August paper should arrive in mailboxes soon.
