Leander's City Council voted to call an election this spring on whether to redirect millions of dollars in sales tax revenue currently paying for membership in the regional transit system into the city's spending account.
Two Leander City Council races will be determined in a June 5 runoff election. Mike Sanders and Esmeralda Traube will be on the ballot for Place 2. Nacole Thompson and Donnie Mahan will compete for the Place 4 seat.
Early voting will run May 24-29 and June 1 at the Leander Public Library annex at 1011 S. Bagdad Road, according to the city. The library will also be the sole election day voting location.
For Places 2 and 4, no candidate reached a majority of votes May 1, which calls for a runoff election between the two candidates who received the most votes, according to city ordinances.
Sanders and Traube received the most votes in the Place 2 race, beating incumbent Annette Sponseller. Sanders received 36.6% of votes May 1, and Traube received 33.94% of votes. Sponseller got 29.46% of votes.
