Twenty-seven candidates are running in contested races in the municipal elections in Brundidge and Troy. Three Troy council candidates were unopposed and the Goshen mayor and council members are running unopposed.

All candidates were required to file an Appointment of Principal Campaign Committee upon formation of their campaign, with most filing in June and July. Some filed in late 2019.
