Elkins' next municipal election is scheduled for June 10. Early voting started on Wednesday, May 28, and will continue until Saturday June 7, at the temporary Municipal Court on 4th Street, adjacent to the main building. City employees will place signage each day during early voting so it is clear to residents where they can cast their ballots. Curbside voting is available for anyone with disabilities or mobility issues. For this election, one council member from each of the city's five wards will be elected to four-year terms. In Wards 1-3, the incumbents are the only candidates on the ballot. Wards 4 and 5 have contested races. There is no race for mayor in the 2025 election, as the current mayor's term does not expire until 2027. Learn more here: https://cityofelkinswv.com/2025-election.
