Treasure Island has released official information for its upcoming March 10, 2026 municipal election. The City outlined which City Commission seats will appear on the ballot, who has announced their intent to run, and how the qualifying process works.
Two Commission Seats on the Ballot
Voters will elect commissioners for District 2 and District 4.
These two districts are scheduled for rotation in the City’s municipal election cycle.
The official qualifying period opened Nov. 14 and closed Dec. 1. During this window, candidates filed all required documents with the City Clerk to secure their place on the ballot.
Residency and Eligibility Rules
Treasure Island sets several requirements for anyone seeking a Commission seat:
Candidates must reside in the district they plan to represent.
They must be a legal voter of the City of Treasure Island.
They may not be a nominee or representative of any political party, consistent with the City’s nonpartisan election structure.
These rules ensure candidates meet both geographic and civic criteria before qualifying.
Who Has Announced Intent to Qualify
Although formal qualification is still underway, several individuals have publicly announced their intent to run:
District 2
Chris Clark (incumbent)
Diana Crabill
District 4
These announcements reflect early interest in the election, though candidates become official only after completing qualification requirements.
What Comes Next?
 Voters will then begin to see candidate outreach, campaign materials, and election information leading up to the March vote.
