On the ballot

Three at-large seats on South Lake Tahoe's five-member City Council are elected here for 4-year terms. The Council sets city policy, the budget, ordinances and land-use rules.

South Lake Tahoe City Council is published from the authoritative post-filing candidate roster. Every name below is included because the election authority identified that person as qualified for this ballot.

The office and selection rule are shown in the ballot record. The candidates’ official designations and incumbent status are reproduced only where the election authority supplied them.

Public information is uneven across this field. A shorter profile means the cited sources did not establish more—not that the candidate lacks experience, positions, support, or campaign activity.

Source review: Mixed (78/100) · 5 cited sources

Official records anchor this contest, with several source types checked for context.

  • cityofslt.gov (opens in a new tab)City of South Lake Tahoe -- official "Elections and Campaign Disclosures" page (live fetch): "Election-November 3, 2026: 3 City Council seats, 1 City Treasurer, 1 City Clerk"; "Five Council Members, elected at large for four-year staggered terms"; its own "List of Qualified Candidates (Updated 08 13 2026, 5:00 p.m.)" names 13 City Council candidates, one City Treasurer candidate (David Olivo), and two City Clerk candidates (Michelle Davis, Brandi Bannister), each with contact information as filed.
  • southtahoenow.com (opens in a new tab)South Tahoe Now -- "Candidate filing extensions announced for some South Lake Tahoe offices" (Paula Peterson, Aug. 8, 2026): the Aug. 7, 2026 County filing deadline was extended to Aug. 12, 5 p.m. for City Council and City Clerk because Mayor Cody Bass and City Clerk Susan Blankenship did not refile; names the same 13 City Council candidates and states "South Lake Tahoe City Treasurer David Olivo is running again and is the sole candidate for the position."
  • netfile.com (opens in a new tab)A negative-result local campaign-finance check: no NetFile portal is linked from the City's own Elections and Campaign Disclosures page (it names the City Clerk as FPPC filing officer directly instead); a guessed NetFile agency-code fetch (netfile.com/public/SLT/campaign/elections) returned only a bare client-rendered application shell with no server-side content, the same access gap documented dataset-wide for other NetFile jurisdictions.
  • cal-access.sos.ca.gov (opens in a new tab)A negative-result access check: California's statewide Cal-Access campaign-finance filer/candidate search was queried directly this pass and returned no usable content, consistent with the same access-blocking pattern documented elsewhere in this dataset. Local candidates for seats like these typically file with the city rather than the state in any case.
  • en.wikipedia.org (opens in a new tab)Wikipedia, "South Lake Tahoe, California": used narrowly for the city's population (~21,000) and its status as a general-law city; does not cover the 2026 election.
