Council members voted to call a general election for May 6 with council seats for district one, two and three on the ballot. Those seats are held by incumbents Joseph Morrow, Sam Cortez and David Emery.
Candidates who have filed thus far are: Richard Hughes for District 2, and incumbent David Emery for District 3. No one had filed for the District 1 seat as of Tuesday afternoon.
Normally, the city tries to enter into election agreements with the county or other entities to share the costs of elections, Dear said. However, the May election in Lytle will fall to the city alone to manage this year.
The deadline to file is this Friday, February 17 by 5pm at City Hall.
