How did you get here?
League City usually holds city council elections in November, but position 5 was held in early March after Justin Hicks resigned, but Community Impact reported earlier.
Hicks was re-elected to be in position in November. That is, there was almost a full period left in the seats. The state code requires cities to hold special elections for seats left after they have more than a year left in that semester.
The city council called for a special election on March 11th, and was able to appear in the May 3rd vote, according to city documents.
what else?
Originally, seven candidates submitted it to do so. However, one candidate, Timothy Brown, retreated in late March, according to the city’s election page.
Looking ahead
According to the city’s website, the position 5 period will expire in November 2028. If no candidates can secure more than 50% of the vote on May 3, a leak will occur between the top two voters on June 7.
