Montgomery finalizes candidate field for Sept. 1 District 3 council special election
The City of Montgomery has announced its final list of qualified candidates for the vacant District 3 City Council seat, setting the candidate field for a special municipal election scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026.
The city issued the announcement July 24. The election will determine who fills the vacant District 3 position on the Montgomery City Council.
The final-list announcement is a formal step in the city’s process for filling the seat. It follows a June 30 City Council action that established the special-election process and set the Sept. 1 election date.
A confirmed election date
Sept. 1 is the next confirmed election date in the process. Montgomery County’s election-information page also lists a special municipal election that day for Montgomery City Council District 3.
The matching city and county listings confirm the date and the office at issue: the vacant District 3 council seat. The election is a special municipal election, rather than a regularly scheduled election for the seat.
The council’s June 30 action addressed the vacancy by setting the election process. The city’s July 24 announcement then identified the final qualified candidate field under that process.
What the vacancy means for District 3
District 3 is represented on the Montgomery City Council, which is part of Montgomery’s mayor-council form of government. The special election is the city’s stated process for filling the vacancy and restoring representation for the district.
The available source material does not establish why the seat became vacant. It also does not provide the names of every qualified candidate in the reviewed materials, so this report does not identify individual candidates.
What is confirmed is that the city has completed its announcement of the final qualified list and that the election remains scheduled for Sept. 1. District 3’s vacant council seat, the final candidate field and the election date are the central elements of the city’s notice.
What happens next
The next known step is the Sept. 1 special municipal election for District 3. The City Council had already established that date on June 30, and Montgomery County’s election page separately lists the same election.
The final candidate-list notice means the city has moved from establishing the special-election process to confirming the qualified field for the scheduled vote. The election will fill the vacant District 3 seat through Montgomery’s municipal election process.
