18 candidates certified to run for Fall River City Council on Nov. 2

Fall River residents will have up to 18 candidates to choose from in Fall River’s general election scheduled for November 2, 2021. There are not enough candidates to force a preliminary city council election on September 21.

Fall River will have a preliminary election for mayor as four candidates filed to run, one more than the minimum needed for a preliminary election. Cliff Ponte is the only city council incumbent not running for re-election because he is running for mayor.
