A swearing-in ceremony and reception for the mayor, municipal judge and District 2 and 5 city councilors is set for 5:30 p.m. April 1 at Campus Park.

A runoff election is required for the District 3 city council seat, since no candidate in the March 1 election received a majority of the votes cast.

Early and absentee voting for registered Rio Rancho residents in District 3 is available from March 22 to April 9. Election Day voting is April 12.
