The City of Yuma reminds residents that the Primary Election will be held Tuesday, July 21. The ballot includes Mayor, three City Council seats and Presiding Municipal Judge. Whether voting early or in person, here is what City of Yuma voters need to know before casting their ballots.

Under the City Charter, candidates who receive more than 50 percent of all ballots cast in the Primary Election are elected to that office, effective on the date of the General Election. If no candidate receives a majority for a particular office, the top two candidates for each remaining open seat will advance to the General Election on Tuesday, November 3.
