Q: A citizen of 4 years in our town did not transfer her voting location. Can she still run for City Council in our town
A: The specific answer to your question is too complicated to be answered on a forum such as this. To answer this question, you would need to review the municipal code's laws governing eligibility to run for city council in your town--presumably there is a residency requirement---and assuming there is one, then does she meet the residency requirement if she is challenged, and then if (when) she qualifies, what is the procedure to disqualify her. Please note that if she qualifies to run for city council by completing her application and no one challenges her qualification, then she might be able to do so.
