Although the number of registered voters increases yearly corresponding to the population growth, the data do not indicate a proportional increase voter turnout. It is not depicted in this chart, but there have been a few times when elections were decided by only two or three votes.
Shenandoah has an election every year, three council seats in odd-numbered years and two council seats plus mayor in even-numbered years. If candidates are unopposed, elections have been cancelled.
