Revision as of 08:30, 25 July 2009

The 2009 Birmingham City Council election will be held on August 25, 2009, with a runoff on October 6. The ballot will also include Birmingham Board of Education elections.

The council voted on March to change the election date to August from October 13 after being advised by city attorney Lawrence Cooper that more than the usual three weeks would be needed between the election and any runoffs in order to meet the requirements of the federal "Help America to Vote" act. Cooper's office waited until May 7 before applying to the U. S. Department of Justice for approval of the new schedule. A decision was returned on June 20, just days before it would have been too late to make the change.

In order to appear on the ballot, candidates must file qualification papers at the Jefferson County Probate Court by 5:00 PM on August 4.
