Seventeen candidates hope to fill 9 Fall River City Council seats in this year’s Fall River municipal elections. At least 19 candidates were needed to have a preliminary election on September 17, so all 17 candidates will move on to the November 5th municipal election.

Incumbents Stephen Long and Derek Viveiros decided not to seek re-election, so there will be at least two new faces added to the City Council next year.
