This year, Medford is holding a Preliminary Election for City Council on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Find your polling place here.

Why the preliminary election? Because 17 candidates are running for City Council — and this election will narrow the field to 14 finalists who will appear on the general election ballot in November.
