Carlsbad's City Clerk is the city's elections official and the custodian of its public records -- agendas, minutes, contracts, and campaign-disclosure filings. The term is four years, and the office is elected separately from the mayor and council.

With no opponent, the useful question is not who to choose but what the officeholder has done and what to watch next. An unopposed return means accountability for this office over the next four years runs through public records requests and City Council relations rather than through the ballot.

Sherry Freisinger

Sherry Freisinger is the incumbent City Clerk and a certified municipal clerk. She retired from the city, then returned as a part-time Clerk Services employee. She was elected City Clerk in 2022 and is now unopposed for a second term.
