HDC Board Member Election

The Highland District Council (HDC) is led by a group of neighborhood volunteers who are elected by Highland Park residents and business representatives to bring the voices of the community to the City of St. Paul on issues like development, transportation, affordable housing and environmental concerns.

The HDC Election for At-large and Grid Representatives runs through April 21 via Survey Monkey. Mail-in ballots will also be accepted and must be received by April 22 at 5 p.m.

The following positions are up for election this year:

  • Two at-large representatives from any of the grids in Highland Park. You may vote for up to two candidates. The individuals who receive the 3rd and 4th highest votes will be named at-large alternate representatives. You may vote for up to two different candidates.
  • One representative from grids 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. You may only vote for grid candidates in your grid. If your grid is not up for election, you may only vote for the At-large candidates.

Click here to find your grid and use the search box in the upper left corner of the website to enter your address. All HDC residents 18+ can vote in the At-Large election, even if your grid isn’t up for election this year.
