Horseshoe Bay city officials say residents who want to run for places coming open on the city council can pick up election packets now at city hall.
The terms of council members Craig Haydon, David Pope and Jerry Gray will expire this year. The council at its meeting Tuesday, July 19 set Nov. 8 as the date when voters will fill those places. That’s the same date as the upcoming presidential election.
While election packets are available now, the first day for filing is Monday, July 25. Filing closes on Monday, Aug. 22.
If only three people file for the three council seats, no election will be needed and the three candidates can be declared elected. If more than three candidates file, the three highest vote-getters in the election will fill the seats.
