How the Election Works
Non-Partisan Elections
City of Wadley elections are non-partisan, meaning political parties do not hold primaries for city offices. All candidates’ names appear on the ballot without party labels.
Election by Plurality
Wadley uses the plurality rule for all elections. This means the candidate with the highest number of votes wins—there is no requirement to secure more than half of the votes cast. This method applies to every city election and ensures a clear and timely result, allowing the city to move forward efficiently after the election.
