With early voting now open through April 28, here’s what Jersey Village residents need to know before heading to the polls to participate in the May 2 local election.
What you need to know
The city of Jersey Village is conducting a City Council election May 2 to fill three open positions on the dais—Places 1, 4 and 5. Additionally, the city will hold a special joint election for a proposition to extend the Fire Control Prevention and EMS District by 20 years and continue its sales tax revenue for the same period of time, according to the sample ballot.
Voters established the district in 2021 for a five-year period to create a dedicated funding source for the Jersey Village Fire Department. As part of the transition, the city stopped using 0.5% of sales tax revenue for property tax relief and instead directed the funds to the fire and EMS district, Community Impact previously reported.
