There’s a strong possibility that two or more four-year terms will be decided when the City of Yuma’s primary election takes place Tuesday, August 27, 2013 with early voting currently under way.
That’s because in the City of Yuma, any candidate who receives at least 50 percent plus one vote among all the votes cast will win the seat and will not participate in the general election. In two of the races, Mayor and Presiding Municipal Court Judge, only two names appear on the ballot.
In addition to mayor, city voters in the upcoming election will select three city council members and a new presiding municipal judge.
