The qualifying dead- line for Pickens County’s 2025 Munici- pal Elections has passed. The elections will be held August 26, 2025, for mayor and city council members in each town.

There will not be an election in Pickensville because no candidates are opposed.

In Carrollton, only the seat on the city council in District 4 will have a race. Briget Stanfill is running against incumbent Councilman Phillip Trull.

At the Reform City Council meeting Sept. 18, councilmembers discussed the upcoming budget for the new 2019 fiscal year. One of the main topics was a raise for all city employees. Although all members were in favor of a raise, there was some contention as to the percentage of the raise.
