Charter Election Proposition K

Shall Section 8.03 “Nominations” of the Charter of the Town of Addison, Texas, be amended to provide that an individual may become a candidate for Mayor or City Council by petition only and remove the option for self-nomination?

Impact

Currently, a person can place their own name in nomination as a candidate for Mayor or City Council. This proposition would remove the option for a person to nominate them self and instead require a petition signed by registered voters who support their nomination. A petition is a common requirement for becoming a candidate in many cities in Texas.
