Jersey City's mayoral and City Council races are still about six months away, but prospective candidates can start getting a lesson on how to run starting today.

City Clerk Robert Byrne will host one-on-one meetings between himself or other clerk's office employees and anyone who wants to run for mayor or council. You'll learn all about the petition process you'll need to get through to win a spot on the Nov. 7 ballot.

The challenge is greater than some realize, and it's not uncommon for a would-be candidate or two to be disqualified from the ballot because of faulty petitions
