SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — Early voting has opened for the May 4 general election, leaving the fate of vital roles such as the San Angelo Police Department’s chief in the hands of voters. Here’s what you need to know.

Where and when do I vote?

Early voting is held in the Election Office of the Edd B. and Frances Frink Keyes Building, located at 113 W. Beauregard Ave. It will be open for two time periods, each with different hours of operation. These time periods are as follows:

  • April 29 – April 30

    • 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.

What will I be voting on?

Headlining the general election is the race for the San Angelo Police Department’s police chief position. This race has three candidates that will appear on the ballot: Lt. Mike Hernandez, Sgt. Travis Griffith and Lt. Chris Cimino.

Concho Valley Homepage recently interviewed each of the candidates, which you can watch below. You can also watch our Police Chief Candidate Forum live on Monday, April 22, at 6:30 p.m. from our website and KLST’s Facebook page.

San Angelo residents and those within the Wall Independent School District can also expect to vote on who will join Wall ISD’s Board of Trustees, with an online sample ballot indicating that voters will need to pick none, one or two of the following candidates:

  • Crystal Braden

  • Houston Guy

  • Curtis Holtman

  • Kevin Ripple

  • Doug Wilde

Finally, those in the Christoval Independent School District will be asked to cast their vote for or against a proposition that would issue $19.5 million of bonds by Christoval ISD that would have their use prioritized for the construction of a new fifth- to eighth-grade campus. The proposition would also levy a property tax to accommodate for the principal and interest of the bonds as well as the cost of any credit agreements executed in connection with the bonds.
