Marquette, MI - Marquette City officials are reminding residents the filing deadline for local offices has changed.

In November 2024, Marquette city voters approved an amendment to the City Charter eliminating primary elections for local offices. As a result, the filing deadline for local offices has shifted from April to July.

For the upcoming November 2025 local election, the filing deadline is set for July 22 at 4 pm for candidates for both the Marquette City Commission and the Board of Light Power.

Nominating packets will be available in the City Clerk’s office beginning in June.
