Early voting for the upcoming City of Floydada General Election and Special Election will begin on April 20, allowing residents to cast ballots ahead of Election Day. Voters will be deciding two At-Large city council positions, as well as a special election proposition that would reauthorize a 1/4% sales tax to continue providing revenue for maintenance and repair of municipal streets.

Why it matters

The special election proposition on the ballot could have a significant impact on the city's ability to fund critical street maintenance and repairs in the coming years. Voter turnout and the outcome of this measure will shape the future of Floydada's infrastructure.

The details

The proposition asks voters to reauthorize the existing 1/4% sales tax that is dedicated specifically to maintaining and repairing city streets. If approved, the tax would continue; if not reauthorized, the tax would expire after four years. A Spanish translation of the proposition is also provided on the ballot.
