Northfield Caucus Board Interview Application Now Available
The Village of Northfield is governed by a seven member Village Board. Board members are elected to four year terms. These terms are staggered so that at least three seats are up for election in the spring of each odd numbered year. Northfield elections are "non-partisan" so that each candidate actually runs independently. Any person who files the appropriate petitions with the election authorities is eligible and encouraged to run for any open seat. Additionally, an organization known as the Northfield Caucus has traditionally interviewed candidates for the Village President and Trustee positions.
Any resident who is interested in running for a future board opening may fill out the Caucus Board Interview Application now available on this Village website. To get to the application, click on "Boards and Commissions" on the left side of the Home page and then on Board Interview Application. For consideration by the Caucus for the 2009 election, the Caucus has set an October 31, 2008 deadline for submission of applications. To find out more about the Northfield Caucus, its members and what they do, click on "External Links" on the left side of the Home page and on "Local Organizations" and "Northfield Caucus." If you have questions for the Caucus, email them at

Remember that the Northfield Caucus is an independent organization, not affiliated with the Village of Northfield and that any person may run as a candidate for Village President or Trustee irrespective of whether or not he or she has been interviewed by the Northfield Caucus.
