Regrettably, we must now fill the vacancy left on the Provo City Council. This will be done as an appointment by the Council and the appointee will serve through January 4, 2016. The District 5 position will be included in the November 2015 general election to have residents elect someone to serve the remaining two years of Hales' original term. The filing period for this two-year term begins on June 1, 2015 and ends on June 8, 2015.

- The official application form provided by the Provo Municipal Council
- Any other information you feel would be helpful to the Council in determining the appointment, such as a statement or resumes

Those qualified persons who submit their names for consideration will be interviewed in a public meeting on Tuesday, February 24, at 6:00 pm in the Council Chambers at 351 West Center Street, Provo, Utah. The meeting will also be broadcast on Provo's Channel 17. Candidates should be prepared to give a three minute statement followed by a brief question and answer period.
Following the public interviews, the Council will take a vote on the names submitted and the two candidates with the highest number of votes must appear before the Council for a second vote. This may be done in the same meeting or on a later date. In the second vote if neither of the two finalists receives a majority vote, the winner is determined by lot, as specified by Utah State statute.
