Revision as of 07:05, 28 August 2013

The 2013 Birmingham municipal election was held in on Tuesday August 27, 2013 to fill the positions of Mayor of Birmingham and all nine seats on the Birmingham City Council and Birmingham Board of Education.

Many voters changed districts since the 2011 election due to redistricting following the 2010 census. Polling places, however, remained the same for all voters, meaning that some locations hosted voters from two or three districts.

According to several sources, there are nearly 130,000 registered voters in the city. 27,201 of those cast votes in the Mayoral race, giving the election a turnout rate of 20.9%.

The official qualification period was from June 28-July 12. Runoff elections are scheduled for October 8, 2013. Elected officials begin their term of office on October 22.
