Foley Voters Will Return To Civic Center For Elections

Guy Busby • March 21, 2025

Polls moved in 2020 for COVID now return to Civic Center

Foley voters will once again cast their ballots at the Civic Center for the 2025 municipal elections, returning to the location after polling stations were moved in 2020.


The municipal elections in Foley, along with most of Alabama, are scheduled for August 26, 2025. If a runoff is required for any race, it will take place on September 23, 2025.


On Monday, March 17, the Foley City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance to designate the Civic Center as the official polling place for the upcoming elections. A second reading and final vote on the ordinance will take place at a future council meeting.


During the last city election in 2020, the council moved the polling station to the Foley Event Center. The larger location in the Event Center allowed more space for social distancing during theCOVID-19 outbreak at that time.


The position of mayor and the five City Council seats will be up for election for a new four-year term.


Council members will run by district. The City Council voted earlier in March to adjust district boundaries to accommodate population changes since the last election.


The mayor’s position is elected at large throughout the city.


In 2021, the Alabama Legislature extended the terms for municipal offices by one year so that elections would not be held the same year as presidential or state elections.

NOAA Combines Old And New Tech to Track Snapper In Gulf

By News Staff • April 30, 2025
Tracking fish with sonar has been available to the public since 1948, when the famous Furuno brothers introduced the product in their native Japan. A 'salty' charter captain might add that it was Lowrance that brought it to the U.S. fishing market. But whomever you credit, NOAA has now combined it with artificial intelligence (AI) to provide better chart mapping and even fish count locations of fish in the gulf. The results could impact local fishing seasons in the future.
