Election Day is May 2 for Azle, Pelican Bay, Reno

Voters in the cities of Azle, Pelican Bay and Reno will be tasked with casting their ballots for the general election Saturday, May 2.

AZLE

Azle’s general election was canceled as each candidate was unopposed. This means council members Derrick Nelson, Amy Estes and Rouel Rothenberger will be declared “elected to office” and will take the oath of office at a council meeting in May.

However, residents still need to vote on the reauthorization of the street maintenance tax. This special election includes a proposition for reauthorization of a local sales and use tax at a rate of one-fourth of 1% to continue providing revenue for maintenance and repair of municipal streets.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the countywide voting sites. For a list of all Tarrant/Parker County polling locations and other election information, visit gisit.tarrantcounty.com/tcvotingwaittime/ and parkercountytx.gov/530/Early-Vote-and-Election-Day-Locations.
