Applications now open for vacant Salt Lake City Council seat

Driving the news: The seat was vacated after a city investigation found that first-term Council Member Eva López Chávez did not live in the district she was elected to represent in 2023.

How it works: Under state law, the remaining six council members have less than 30 days to fill the position.

• Interviews are expected to begin June 9 and a new council member will be chosen either that day or June 11.

Requirements: You must be a registered voter, actually live in the district for at least a year, and not be employed by the city at the time of the appointment.
