Flower Mound voters will elect a new Place 4 council member and vote on the mayor for the May election.
Applications are open for the May 4 general election ballot. Derek France, elected in 2021, is the current mayor. Jim Engle, first elected in 2018, holds the Place 4 seat. Council members and the mayor may only serve two three-year terms, so Engel is ineligible to run for reelection. France has announced his intention to run again.
The details
Candidates must meet the following requirements, according to a town news release:
- Be a qualified/registered voter of the town
- Be 21 years of age or older on the first day of the term to be filled or on the date of appointment
- Have been a resident of the town for at least one year prior to election date
- Hold no other public office except that of Notary Public or a member of the National Guard, military reserve or Coast Guard reserve

Completed applications for mayor and Town Council Place 4 must be filed by 5 p.m. Feb. 16, the release states.
