During the January 8 council meeting, the Levelland City Council is slated to order the next Uniform General Election.
This year’s election will be held on May 4, 2024. The City of Levelland will have the Mayor position and two council positions on the ballot: District A and District C.
Any citizen considering running for office can pick up a candidate packet from the office of the city secretary. This packet contains all necessary forms needed to apply as a candidate, as well as information on campaign finance reporting, advertising and information on the city charter as it relates to city council members.
The candidate forms supplied in the packet are also available on the Texas Secretary of State and the Texas Ethics Commission websites.
Potential candidates for the position of Mayor, Council District A and Council District C will be able to submit an application for a place on the ballot starting at 8 a.m. on January 17, 2024, and until 5 p.m. on February 16, 2024. Those applications need to be submitted to the city secretary.
The council seats are specific to the district that will be represented. In order to apply for a place on the ballot, potential candidates must provide proof that he or she is a resident of and registered voter in the district being represented. In addition, only those citizens who are registered in the specific district can vote in the election.
Council members are elected for a two-year term, so voters have an election for city council in their district every other year. Districts A and C elections are held in even numbered years and Districts B and D are held in odd numbered years. The position of Mayor is up for election every three years.
