\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAnother special election will be happening in Schertz to fill an opening on the City Council.<\/p>\n
What’s happening<\/p>\n
At the Jan. 6<\/a> Schertz City Council meeting, City Secretary Sheila Edmondson said she will be bringing a resolution to council Jan. 20, calling for an election for the vacant Place 6 council seat.<\/p>\n The seat became vacant after Place 6 council member Allison Heyward filed to run for Guadalupe County Precinct 3 commissioner in the March 3 primary<\/a>.<\/p>\n Although the position is open, Texas Constitution Article 16, Section 17<\/a> gives Heyward the right to stay on council until a \u201cduly qualified replacement\u201d is elected, City Attorney Daniel Santee said.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not a dual office holding situation. This is filing to be a candidate for office while holding another office … she hasn\u2019t been elected,\u201d Santee said.<\/p>\n According to the Schertz City Charter<\/a>, if there are more than 365 days remaining on the term of the vacated position, the council shall call a special election to fill the vacancy. The current Place 6 term ends in November 2027<\/a>.<\/p>\n What\u2019s next<\/p>\n The filing period for the Place 6 election will take place Jan. 21-Feb. 2, Edmondson said. Early voting is slated to take place March 18-31, and election day is currently scheduled for April 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another special election will be happening in Schertz to fill an opening on the City Council.
