According to this Philadelphia Inquirer story, quite a few candidates are running in the November 3, 2015 election for Philadelphia city office. As the story notes, Philadelphia uses limited voting for city council-at-large. No party can run for all the seats. The objective is to prevent one party from winning all the seats. Normally Republicans win the non-Democratic Party seats, but this year Republicans will have competition from independent and minor party candidates. Thanks to Andrew Gripp for the link.
