La Plata<\/a><\/h4>\n

La Plata holds a nonpartisan primary<\/a> for its single seat elections if more than two candidates run. The top two candidates continue on to the general election In 2017, there was a primary just in Ward II, which was held in March. The general elections were held on May 2.

Voters turfed out incumbents in three council seats, and elected a newcomer to the vacant fourth seat in Ward III. All of the winning candidates were part of the New Day for La Plata slate<\/a> sponsored by the La Plata Business Association.<\/p>\n
