Noma council approves first reading to move elections to March in even years
Summary
On Oct. 6, 2025 the Noma Town Council unanimously approved the first reading of Ordinance 2026-01, which would move town elections to consistent March dates in even-numbered years with staggered four-year terms; the ordinance now awaits second reading and adoption.
The Noma Town Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 2026-01 on Oct. 6, 2025, a measure that would establish consistent March elections in even-numbered years, set February qualifying periods, and stagger four-year terms so Seats 1, 3 and 5 would appear on the March 2026 ballot and Seats 2 and 4 in March 2028.
Councilmember Josephine Curry moved the ordinance on first reading and Vice Mayor Coy Mixon seconded; the motion carried with all members present voting in favor. The action was taken as new business and recorded as the official first reading of the ordinance.
If adopted on second reading, the ordinance would realign the town’s election calendar and repeal any conflicting code provisions. Council did not record an extensive debate on policy rationale at the meeting; minutes show the council’s action progressed through the formal motion and vote. The ordinance will return for a second reading at a future meeting before it can take effect.
