Feb. 12 was the last day for candidates to file for a place on the ballot.
West University Place voters may vote for no more than one candidate for mayor and no more than four candidates for council member, City Secretary Thelma Gilliam said. The mayor will be selected based on who receives the greatest number of votes. For City Council, the top four vote-getters will be elected as council members. The city will not hold a runoff election.
Under the West University Place city charter, no person can serve as mayor or council member for more than three two-year successive terms.
The last day for residents to register to vote is April 1. Early voting spans April 19-27. The last day to apply for a ballot by mail is April 20. For more information, visit the Harris County Election Division website.
