Early voting hours for Saturday’s municipal election will be extended today and Tuesday.
Voting at College on the Square will be held until 7 p.m. today and from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, which is the final day. When voting, a person must present a state-approved form of voter ID.
Over the first five days of early voting, 278 people voted. That represents 4.5 percent of the 6,174 people eligible to vote. During the 2015 municipal election, 323 people voted early which was 5.3 percent of the 6,127 registered to vote.
Saturday’s election includes the race for mayor and two at-large Snyder City Council seats.
Mayoral candidates on the ballot, in the order they are listed, are Tony Wofford, John Gayle, Stephanie Ducheneaux and George Jamison.
The at-large city council candidates are Maria Robinson, Luann Burleson, Ben Martin and Frank Toland.
The top two at-large council candidates will earn a seat on the council.
To be elected mayor, a candidate must receive a majority of the votes (50 percent plus one vote). If no candidate receives a majority, a runoff election between the top two candidates will be held June 17, city officials said.
On Saturday, voting at College on the Square will be held from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Results of Saturday’s election will be posted on the Snyder Daily News Facebook page and website after they are verified by city officials.
The council called a special meeting for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday to canvass the election results.
