City Elections: Be Informed When You Vote

Residents will have a chance tomorrow to vote on who will join the New Port Richey City Council.

The New Port Richey city elections are tomorrow, April 9.

There are two open seats on the city council, and seven candidates vying to join the council.

Only people living in the city limits can vote in this election. Voters must bring proof of being a city resident when they go to the poll.

So far, 495 people have cast absentee ballots in the elections. That amounts to 5.88 percent of the city’s registered voters. Only 525 people cast ballots in last year's municipal election.
