AGENDA

AGENDA REPORT 2024 0822 CCSA SPC ITEM 05A

Beginning with the 2020 municipal election, the City of Moorpark holds district-based elections, meaning Councilmember candidates must reside within a specific geographical area called a "District," and only voters who reside in that District will elect their Councilmember.  The position of Mayor will continue to be elected “at-large,” meaning that mayoral candidates may reside in any location within Moorpark’s city limits and be elected by all voters in Moorpark.

2024 Candidates for Office

Certificate of Facts to the Governing Body: One Candidate for Each Seat to be Filled

California Elections Code Section 10229 provides that the city elections official submit a certificate of facts to the governing body in the event that an incumbent member does not file nomination papers, and there is only one candidate for each office to be filled at a regularly scheduled Municipal Election.  The certificate was posted on August 14, 2024, and will be published in the Ventura County Star on August 16, 2024.

2024 Municipal Election Nomination Period

The “nomination period” is the timeframe during which interested individuals can officially obtain nomination papers to run for City Council.  The nomination period opens July 15, 2024 and closes on August 9, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. In the event that an incumbent does not file papers to seek re-election, the nomination period for only that office will be extended to August 14, 2024, at 5:00 p.m.

How do I get nomination papers to run for office?

In order to ensure each interested individual receives a full overview of the nomination process and paperwork requirements, potential candidates should make an appointment with the City Clerk’s Office by calling (805) 517-6223.  Candidates must be a registered voter, reside within the Moorpark City limits, and (if running for a City Councilmember seat) must reside in a District up for election in 2024.  Nomination papers may be filed with the City Clerk between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day during the nomination period.

Ventura County Elections Division publishes an updated link daily of all candidates, including those serving the Moorpark community, on the Elections Division website.

How do I know what District I live in?

The Moorpark City Council adopted the current Map of District Boundaries at a public hearing on February 2, 2022.
