Greene County Auditor Billie Jo Hoskins says for the Jefferson City Council, potential candidates must get at least 25 signatures, whereas for all other city council seats, they must get at least ten signatures, including anyone wanting to run for mayor, except for the city of Jefferson, which is not up for election this November, as it is a four year term.
