How to Vote
in Berkeley District 7

Help Aidan get on the ballot

Before voters can choose Aidan Hill in November, District 7 neighbors have to help qualify the campaign for the ballot.

Aidan is running for Berkeley City Council because Southside, Telegraph, People’s Park, UC Berkeley, renters, students, workers, small businesses, and longtime neighbors all deserve a voice in what comes next.

If you live in Berkeley City Council District 7, your signature, endorsement, and voting plan all matter.

Sign the Petition

It starts with Community

Aidan needs nomination signatures from registered District 7 voters to appear on the November 3, 2026 ballot.

The official nomination window opens July 13, 2026 and closes August 7, 2026. Council candidates need at least 20 valid signatures and may submit up to 30. The campaign is collecting the full 30 allowed so Aidan can qualify cleanly.

If you are registered to vote in District 7, signing the nomination petition does not obligate you to vote for Aidan. It simply helps make sure District 7 voters have a real choice on the ballot.

Ranked-choice voting and student voters

How ranked-choice voting works

Berkeley City Council elections use ranked-choice voting.

That means you can rank candidates in order of preference:

  1. Rank your first choice.

  2. Rank your second choice.

  3. Continue ranking additional candidates if you want to.

If you support Aidan, mark Aidan Hill as your first choice.

You can still rank other candidates after Aidan.
Ranking additional candidates does not hurt your first choice.
