If you live in Commerce’s Ward 5 and have wanted to get involved in city politics, your chance is at hand.

Qualifying for the March 16 election to fill the Ward 5 vacancy on the city council will take place next Monday through Wednesday, Feb. 22-24, at City Hall.

This is the seat formerly held by the late Richard Massey, who died last fall. The term expires Dec. 31, 2011.

Qualifying will be from 8:30 to 4:30 Monday and Tuesday, and from 8:30 to noon Wednesday. The qualifying fee is $81, and voting is for Ward 5 residents only.

Early voting for the election will be held at City Hall the week of March 8-12. Balloting March 16 will take place at the J. Nolan Spear Jr. Public Safety Complex — assuming two or more candidates qualify.
