Special Election Dates Proposed For Two Century Council Seats
January 14, 2023
Dates have been proposed for a special election in Century for two town council seats that no one ran for during last year’s elections.
At a meeting on January 2, the sitting council temporarily appointed Shelisa McCall Abraham to Seat 3 and Alicia Johnson to Seat 4. Their positions are temporary until winners are determined in the special election.
The town charter states that the election will be held between 60 and 90 days after the vacancy occurs. The town and Supervisor of Elections David Stafford have now formulated dates for the election.
If there are three or more candidates for any one of the seats, a primary election will be held on Tuesday, March 14. Any necessary runoff and the general election will be held on Tuesday, March 28.
Qualifying will be open from noon February 21 until noon February 24 at the Supervisor of Elections Office or the Century Town Hall on February 22. Any registered voter that lives in the town limits can seek election and pay a $50 qualifying fee.
The election will be certified by the Escambia County Canvassing Board.
The Century Town Council will consider an ordinance to finalize the election details at an upcoming meeting.

Why would you even comment on what one wears? Century will never get anywhere with one sided minds like you. The lady has stepped up when no one else would. Let her be.
@ RaD
Not only that but probably less than 2 candidates.
Unless JR and Vicky dress up and sign up.
Not dressed appropriately for city office but of course this is Century.We just need to get rid of city hall and go to county
At Least Ms. Abraham dressed appropriately for her swearing in. (sarcasm!)
Should be a barn burner of a race. I am guessing the turnout will be less than 100 voters.
