Alderwoman
Melissa Ratliff has taken out a petition to seek re-election to her Ward-4,
Position-1 seat on the Alexander City Council. That makes six of the eight
council members circulating petitions, plus the mayor.
Positions up
for election this year are for mayor and the eight seats on the city council. The
mayor serves a four-year term while council members serve two-year terms.
So far, only
current council members and the mayor are circulating petitions. To be placed
on the ballot each person needs a minimum of 10 signatures from registered
voters living in the City of Alexander.

Besides
Ratliff, others circulating petitions are Joe Pollard (Ward
1, Position 1) Lana Joy Gray (Ward 2, Position 1), Juanita Wilson (Ward
2, Position 2), Harold Timmerman (Ward 3, Position 1),
Dan Church
(Ward 3, Position 2) and Mayor Paul Mitchell.
That leaves Ward-1, Position-2 and Ward-4, Position-2 available for anyone
wishing to serve on the council. Of course, anyone can take out a petition for
any of the nine positions.
Registered
voters living in both the Pulaski County and Saline County areas of the city
must pick up petitions at the Saline County Clerk’s Office;
215 North
Main, Suite 9;
Benton,
Arkansas;
between the
hours of 8 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday, except holidays. When
requesting a petition, you must state which position you are seeking (ie.
Ward-1, Position-2).
The first
opportunity to file a petition was today, Friday, July 27. Filing ends on
Friday, August 17. The election is Tuesday, November 6, 2018.
