The election process and right to vote are aspects of our government we all hold dear. We are given the ability to elect our peers to represent us in providing direction for the most basic services that we rely upon. We have the power to choose our direction by promoting and electing those who share common values.
We appreciate your interest and encourage your involvement in the municipal election process. The local government level is closest to home and therefore gives you direct influence on your elected officials.
A municipal election is held in odd years with 3 council members running in one year and then the mayor and 2 council members running two years later. The election is non-partisan which means a candidate is not nominated by or representing a political party. Candidates are at-large - elected by all voters in West Bountiful, not just one district or precinct.
West Bountiful contracts with Davis County to administer the elections, and all elections are Vote by Mail, although there will be an opportunity to vote in person at City Hall or any other Davis County vote center on election day.

The City of West Bountiful will hold a Municipal Election on November 21, 2023 to fill three (3) city council seats. Terms will run for four (4) years each - January 2024 through December 2027.
