Due to procedural errors when they turned in their petitions, current city council members Ginger Raye Sanders and LaCaje Hill and council candidate Ryan Reed will not appear on the ballot for next year's election. The Municipal Officers Election Board held unanimously, 3-0 in the case of Reed and Hill and 3-0 and 2-0 in the case of Rye Sanders that the three candidates had violated state statutes and that current case law requires strict and not substantial compliance as Hill had argued. The three may appeal the decision to the Jackson County Circuit Clerk
