City Council District 11 election, May 2021
Election basics
Dallas City Council members serve two-year terms, and our municipal elections are nonpartisan, so political parties are not on the ballot.
Only those who registered by April 1 are eligible to cast a ballot in the May 1 election.
Early voting is April 19-27, and you can vote at any Dallas County voting location during this time. Remember that a valid ID is required to vote.
On election day, Saturday, May 1, vote at your own polling place.
The Advocate does not endorse candidates, but we encourage our readers to get to know everyone running for City Council District 11.
