Early voting for May 2 local elections begins in two weeks
HUNT COUNTY – Voters in Greenville and Greenville ISD will be among those across Hunt County deciding a slate of municipal propositions, along with city council and school board races in the May 2 election.
In Greenville, six proposed amendments to the city charter will appear on the ballot, alongside a contested city council race for Place 4.
Proposition A would amend the charter to clarify the city council’s authority under state law to set city boundaries and annex adjacent territory only with the consent of affected residents or as otherwise permitted by law. Proposition B would require city council vacancies to be filled by special election within 120 days if more than 12 months remain in a term, while allowing appointments if a year or less remains.
Proposition C addresses eminent domain, proposing updates to ensure compliance with state law, including requirements for fair market value compensation, public purpose and proper notice. Proposition D would remove term limits for the mayor and council members while maintaining three-year terms.
