PARK CITY, Utah – Park City residents considering a run for local office will have an opportunity to learn more about the election process at a workshop hosted by the city next week.

The “Running for Office” workshop, scheduled for Monday, May 6, will offer an overview of candidate filing requirements, campaign regulations, and the responsibilities of elected officials in Park City. The session runs from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the City Council chambers at City Hall and will also be available virtually.

This year, voters will elect a new mayor and two city councilmembers.

The city’s election timeline recently shifted after the Park City Council voted Monday to reverse its earlier decision to use ranked choice voting in the 2025 election. That change restores the traditional voting system, reopening the possibility of a primary election.

Municipalities will have candidate filing June 2-6. Special districts will remain June 1-9. If more than two candidates file for a given seat, a primary election will be held to narrow the field ahead of the general election.

More information about the election and how to file as a candidate is available on the Park City Municipal website.
