The City of Minot is seeking volunteers to fill a temporary vacancy on the City Council until a special election is held in November.

The Council vacancy was created when alderman Tom Ross was elected mayor of Minot last month.

The council seat formerly held by Ross expires in June 2024.

Those who are interested should submit a letter to the city clerk at Mikayla.mcwilliams@minotnd.org or at 515 2nd Avenue SW, Minot, N.D. 58702.

The City Council will appoint a member at its July 18 meeting.

An election to permanently fill the council seat will be held Nov. 8. To apply to run for that seat, candidates will need to gather 300 signatures and submit a statement of interest. They can pick up an election packet from the city clerk’s office. The deadline to submit signatures and paperwork to run for the council seat will be 4 p.m. on Sept. 6.
