MARSHALL — A special city council election will be held on Nov. 3 to fill a vacancy left when council member Amanda Schwartz stepped down.

On Tuesday, council members officially called for a special election in Marshall’s Ward 2 .

Earlier this month, Schwartz resigned from her council position because she was moving outside the city. Schwartz’s term expires on Jan. 1, 2029. Because there are more than 180 days left in Schwartz’s term, the city will need to fill the vacancy by holding a special election, said Marshall City Clerk Steven Anderson.

The special council election will be held at the same time as general elections. There will also be three other Marshall City Council seats up for election this fall. One seat each will be up for election in Marshall’s Ward 1, Ward 2 and Ward 3.

Candidate filing dates for Marshall City Council will be from July 14 through July 28. Anderson said candidates may only run for one council seat. Candidates in Ward 2 will need to specify whether they are running for a four-year term or the remaining two-year term up for special election.

Candidates running for city council will need to file at the Marshall City Clerk’s Office at City Hall, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. On July 28, the Clerk’s Office will be open until 5 p.m. There is a $5 filing fee.
