Voters in the Bay Area have several local elections on their ballots in the Nov. 7 election.

The details

Those in Clear Lake will be able to cast ballots for several Houston City Council elections this year. They include:In addition, Houston voters will be able to vote for two propositions:Proposition A would give council members the ability to place items on council agendas instead of having to get mayoral approval. Proposition B would allow the city to have greater representation on the Houston-Galveston Area Council or rescind membership.

Also of note

Those living in Clear Creek ISD will also have three ballot items to consider:Proposition A is a voter-approval tax rate election, or VATRE, that would result in a tax rate of $0.9746 per $100 valuation to close a budget shortfall. If the VATRE fails, the tax rate would be $0.9446 per $100 valuation.


Propositions B and C are for $302 million worth of bonds for various projects around the district.
