Summary
The Fredericksburg City Council adopted Ordinance 2025-01 to call and order a general election for Saturday in May to fill two council seats for two‑year terms, and set the early‑voting schedule that mirrors county dates.
The Fredericksburg City Council on Tuesday adopted Ordinance 2025‑01 calling a general election to be held Saturday, May (date set in ordinance), to elect two council members to two‑year terms.
Mayor Gerald Hooper presented the ordinance and staff confirmed the early voting schedule aligns with the county’s planned schedule. A councilmember asked whether the early-voting hours matched the county dates; staff replied that the city schedule "does mirror what the county will be doing."
A motion to adopt the ordinance was made, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting. The council did not amend the voting dates; staff will publish required notices and coordinate with election officials to implement the schedule shown in the ordinance.
No candidate names, filing deadlines or polling‑place changes were discussed in detail at the meeting. Councilmembers did not vote a roll-call tally on the record; the meeting minutes show the motion carried on a voice vote.
