Residents of Blaine, mark your calendars and get ready to exercise your democratic rights. With the 2024 elections approaching, the city is gearing up for a busy voting season. As reported by the City of Blaine's official website, over 300 election judges will join the city staff to ensure a smooth process for all the voters come November 5. Starting September 20, absentee voting is set to kick off at City Hall during regular business hours, or for those who prefer, by mail.
When Blaine citizens head to the polls this fall, they'll find four critical local government seats up for grabs. Each of the city's three council wards has a seat at stake, not to mention the highly anticipated mayoral race.
Interestingly, every race features the incumbent eager to hold onto their position against a fresh face looking to challenge the status quo. According to the City of Blaine, the incumbent mayor, Tim Sanders, will face Patrick Hobot. Lori Saroya is up against Chris Ford for Ward 1, while in Ward 2, Leslie Larson is challenged by Ini Udomah. Ward 3 will see Chris Massoglia vying to retain his seat against Amina Baha. No matter their ward, every voter can weigh in on who should be the mayor.
Information is readily available on the city's website for those needing to find out their council ward or seek out more pertinent election dates.
