Lewisville is gearing up for its city council elections, and residents with political aspirations now have their shot at shaping the future of their community. Starting January 15, those looking to serve on the Lewisville City Council can throw their hats into the ring, with the candidate filing period open until February 14, according to the City of Lewisville. The three seats up for grabs are Places 4, 5, and 6, currently held by council members Brandon Jones, Kristin Green, and Patrick Kelly, respectively.
If you're looking to join the ranks of local governance, mark your calendar for early voting, which begins on April 22 and ends on April 29. The main event unfolds on May 3—that's when residents will head to the polls to have their say. Before stepping into the electoral fray, potential candidates must meet certain criteria: They must be qualified voters, have lived in Lewisville for a minimum of one year by the election date, and reside within the district of the council seat they're eyeing. A city-provided map is available for those uncertain about their district lines.
All interested parties should head over to the City Secretary’s Office at Lewisville City Hall, located at 151 W. Church Street, to complete their candidate applications during regular business hours. But don't drag your feet—Lewisville operates on a Monday-Thursday, 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m., and Friday, 7:30–11:30 a.m. schedule.
