Early Voting in May 6 Election Begins

Voters in North Texas can vote early between April 24 and May 2 ahead of the May 6 election.

Early voting is underway for the upcoming May 6 election, which includes a potpourri of nonpartisan city, county, and school district contests.

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is running for a second term and faces write-in candidate Kendal Richardson as his only challenger. In Fort Worth, Mayor Mattie Parker faces four opponents but is heavily favored to win a second term. Arlington Mayor Jim Ross is also hoping for a second term and faces newcomer Amy Cearnal.

The Fort Worth City Council expands to 10 districts this year after redistricting, which adds up to two new council members after the May vote.
