A special election for a vacant Burlington City Council seat will take place on Dec. 6, according to a press release from Mayor Miro Weinberger’s office.
Weinberger announced the special election for the East District seat Wednesday, following Jack Hanson’s resignation earlier this month. Hanson, a Progressive, left his seat to pursue a job with the city’s electric department.
Candidates will have until Oct. 11 to file petitions. Early voting is set to begin Oct. 24.
On Dec. 6, polling locations will be at the Fletcher Free Library and Mater Christi School from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., according to the press release.
Burlington’s city charter requires a special election to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.
