Brawley's City Clerk issues nomination papers by appointment, and Council candidates need 20 to 30 signatures from voters inside city limits. Jurisdiction: City of Brawley, Imperial County. Council terms: Four years. Nominations: 20 to 30 voters residing in city limits. City filings: Brawley City Clerk, by appointment. The City of Brawley is in the northern Imperial Valley. Its general municipal election fills City Council seats for four-year terms; in 2026 two seats were on the ballot, with winners sworn in at a December Council meeting. The City Clerk handles nomination papers by appointment at the City's Administrative Office on Main Street, and posts candidate status on the City's Elections page during the nomination period. Who can run. The City lists the requirements: at least 18, a U.S. citizen, registered to vote in Brawley at your current address, and not disqualified under state law. Each candidate must be nominated by 20 to 30 registered voters living within Brawley city limits, and no voter may sign more than one nominating paper for the same seat. The City recommends collecting the full 30 in case a signer is not registered. Appointments and timing. Appointments to obtain and file nomination papers are required and are requested through the City Clerk by email or phone. In 2026 the nomination period ran July 13 to August 7, extended to August 12 if an incumbent did not file. That window has closed; use the City's current Elections page and election forms for a later cycle. City, schools and districts. The Imperial County Registrar of Voters runs the ballot for the consolidated election. Its candidate list covers county, school, college, irrigation, community services and healthcare district contests that are separate from City Council. The County's candidate guide says public examination of candidate statements for city offices is handled by the respective city officials, so city questions go to the City Clerk.
