Hutto City Council Early Voting Open Now

Hutto voters can cast early ballots now in two City Council races that will decide the city’s Place 1 and Place 4 seats. (huttotx.gov) Early voting by personal appearance began Monday, April 20, and runs through Tuesday, April 28. Williamson County says there is no voting on Tuesday, April 21, or Sunday, April 26. (huttotx.gov) (wilcotx.gov) Election Day is Saturday, May 2, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The City of Hutto says the ballot includes Councilmember Place 1 and Councilmember Place 4. (huttotx.gov) (wilcotx.gov) The Place 1 race has four candidates on the ballot: Jerrel W. Reynolds, Sarosh Jafri, Brandy McCool and Luiz Dunham. Hutto’s election page lists those four names as the certified ballot lineup. (huttotx.gov) The Place 4 race has two candidates: Brandon DeLeon and Corina Zepeda. Community Impact reported the winner will replace Council Member Peter Gordon, who is term-limited after three terms. (communityimpact.com) Place 1 is also an open-seat contest in practice. Community Impact reported interim Council Member Charles Warner was appointed after Brian Thompson resigned and said he would not run in the May 2 election. (communityimpact.com 1) (communityimpact.com 2) Williamson County is using countywide voting, which means registered voters can cast a ballot at any polling place in the county during early voting. The county’s elections page says that rule also applies to finding locations and sample ballots online. (wilcotx.gov) (votetexas.gov) For Hutto voters who want an in-city early voting site, Williamson County’s location list includes Hutto Discovery United Methodist Church at 350 Ed Schmidt Blvd. The county list shows that site among the early voting locations for the May 2 joint election. (wilcodemocrats.org) (wilcotx.gov) The deadline to update voter registration for this election was April 2, and the deadline for ballot-by-mail applications was April 20. Now the remaining dates are the end of early voting on April 28 and Election Day on May 2. (huttotx.gov) (wilcotx.gov) The result will shape two of the seven seats on Hutto’s governing council just as the fast-growing city replaces one appointed member and one outgoing incumbent. Early voting gives residents until Tuesday to make that choice. (huttotx.gov) (communityimpact.com)
