Lindale council approves updated polling locations for May 2 special election
Summary
The Lindale City Council unanimously approved a revised Notice of Election with updated polling locations for the May 2, 2026 special election and scheduled a separate canvass meeting for May 13 to meet state timelines.
The Lindale City Council on April 7, 2026 unanimously approved a revised Notice of Election that updates polling locations for the special election set for May 2, 2026. Councilmember Bryan Summerville made the motion to approve the notice; Sallie Black seconded and the motion passed with all voting in favor.
City Secretary Michelle Wiese told the council that state law requires a canvass of election results within 10 days after the election and that the canvass deadline falls before the next regular council meeting. The council approved a called meeting for May 13, 2026 to canvass votes for the May 2 special election. Wiese said that, under law, only two council members are required to constitute a quorum for the canvass.
The action affects polling logistics for the May 2 special election; the council did not discuss the content of the ballot at length during the meeting. The council’s unanimous vote indicates the updated locations will stand unless changed in a subsequent meeting.
