Election Time Coming

At this time of year every 4 years potential candidates for City of Brookfield public offices are gearing up to prepare for the Spring (primary February, general April) elections.

It may seem far away but from November 2011 through March 2012 is only 5 months to campaign for a 4 year term.

In the past nomination papers can be circulated after December 1st and filed in early January 2012.

The election for MUNICIPAL JUDGE has some special rules to follow so early attention to details is necessary.

Winter campaigns are always impeded by weather and with the snowbirds gone absentee ballot voter lists are important.

There are various form of technology to brush up on to be an effective candidate.

To be MUNICIPAL JUDGE a person must be a local resident and an Attorney in good standing.

The City Clerk has all the details including changes in the election laws. A personal trip there is worthwhile.
