Leon Valley council certifies May 2 election results; 489 votes cast
Summary
The Leon Valley City Council on May 12 certified the May 2, 2026, election results and approved a resolution canvassing the returns; city staff reported 489 total votes and recorded the results for transmission to the Texas Secretary of State.
Leon Valley — The Leon Valley City Council approved a resolution May 12 formally canvassing and declaring the official results of the city—lection held May 2, 2026, after the city secretary presented the final tabulation.
Sandra Poslay, the city secretary, said final numbers arrived the previous afternoon and that the official tabulation had been updated on the city website. "So, this is the official tabulation of the election results. Uh we will hold the records for 22 months," Poslay said. She told the council the city would send the finalized documents to the Texas Secretary of State.
Poslay reported vote totals for mayor: Chris Riley, 363; Evan B, 79; Jed Hefner, 47 — a total of 489 votes cast. She also read results for uncontested council seats: Betty Hy received 363 votes for council place 2 and Rya Rosco received 364 votes for council place 4.
Council members asked whether totals included early and mail ballots. Poslay confirmed the absentee column was included in the tabulation.
The city secretary also provided population and registration context, saying the city's population was between approximately 11,361 and 11,446. The transcript records a registered-voter figure read as "9,42," which is unclear in the record; the packet contains precinct-by-precinct details, Poslay said. Council members noted turnout was low: "The total number of votes were 489... you're still around three three and a half% voted," a council member observed.
A motion to approve the canvass was made and seconded; the presiding official called for a voice vote and stated, "The motion does carry." The motion was identified in the meeting as moved by Councillor MSH and seconded by Councillor Hy; the transcript records a voice vote and does not include a roll-call tally.
With that business concluded and no citizens signed up to speak, the council adjourned at about 8:34 a.m.
What happens next: the city will retain the election records for the statutory retention period Poslay cited and forward the official results to the Secretary of State as part of the canvass process.
