Houston City Council District C runoff election: Polling locations, candidates

HOUSTON - Voters will decide Saturday who will fill the vacant Houston City Council seat in District C as the special election heads for a runoff between Joe Panzarella and Nick Hellyar.

Why is a runoff election being held?

The District C seat was left vacant when Council Member Abbie Kamin decided to run for Harris County attorney.

A special election was held on April 4 to fill the seat. Seven candidates were listed on the ballot, but no single candidate received more than 50% of the vote. That prompted a runoff between the two candidates who received the most votes – Panzarella and Hellyar.

Who can vote?

Only registered voters who live in Houston’s Council District C can vote.
