Anna Maria candidates are in for an easy Election Day.
There is no municipal contest on the Nov. 8 Anna Maria ballot since no one challenged the incumbents: Mayor Dan Murphy and Commissioners Deanie Sebring and Mark Short.
This is the fifth consecutive municipal election without a challenge or a vote.
Murphy was first elected mayor in 2014. Short became commissioner in 2019. Sebring joined the commission in 2020.
They will be sworn into two-year terms at an organizational meeting at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10, at city hall, 10005 Gulf Drive.
Directions to attend via Zoom can be found at the city’s website, cityofannamaria.com.
Anna Maria voters can cast ballots in federal, state, judicial and some local races 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Nov. 8 at the precinct 301 polling location, Roser Memorial Community Church, 512 Pine Ave.
Vote-by-mail ballots must be mailed or delivered to the Manatee County Supervisor of Elections Office by 7 p.m. Nov. 8.
There were 941 registered voters in Anna Maria as of Oct. 28.
