City Council Declares Joe Chow Elected as Mayor

On March 4, the City Secretary submitted to the City Council a "Certification of Unopposed Mayoral Candidate" for the May 1, General Municipal Election certifying that Joe Chow was running unopposed.

As allowed by state law, the City Council voted to declare Joe Chow elected as Mayor for this third term at its March 9 meeting. They also canceled the Mayoral election on May 1. A copy of the approved ordinance and certification will be sent to the Dallas County Elections Department for posting at each polling place used during this election. The ballots used in this election will include:  Joe Chow declared elected under the heading "Unopposed Candidate Declared Elected" and listed in a way that prevents voters from casting votes in connection with the Mayoral Election. 

There will still be an election for City Council seats. You can find more information on the May 1 election and the candidates running for office on the Town's website.
