What to know about voting Saturday in San Angelo
Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday for in-person Election Day voting in San Angelo.
Residents will vote to choose a new mayor and three City Council members. They will also have their say on a proposed bond issue for San Angelo Coliseum improvements, and San Angelo ISD has put a bond before voters for school and security improvements.
While certain property owners would not see a hike in their tax bills if voters approve the coliseum and school bonds, others can expect to see an increase.

Carlos Hernandez and Larry Miller filed to be on the ballot but officially withdrew from the election, city officials said.
SAISD voters have not approved a bond since 2008 when a $117 million bond issue passed to renovate and make other improvements at 11 campuses, education officials said on Indeed, if voters give a thumbs up to SAISD Proposition A, it will be the second bond approved in 27 years for the district.
The proposed bond would pay for a three-pronged approach to capital improvements in the district:
$267 million to address aging buildings. Additions and renovations to Central High School and Lake View High School are among the improvements.
$122 million to build a new Glenn Middle School at the site of the existing campus.
$8 million for updates to safety and security in SAISD.
If voters approve the bond, the estimated cost for a $200,000 home would be an increase of $22.72 monthly or $272.64 annually, according to
Residents who receive the over-65 exemption for their homes will not see an increase over the frozen amount on their school taxes — as long as they haven't made major improvements or additions to their home, according to SAISD's bond proposal information.
The proposed $41.66 million bond issue for the San Angelo Coliseum would pay for increasing seating capacity from 5,000 to 10,150 seats, city officials said. The increase would include 44 more accessible seats and 60 companion seats.
The bond would also finance life safety improvements and adding over restroom facilities, officials said. The San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Association would take over the coliseum's operation, maintenance and management upon completion of the project if approved.
City officials estimated the proposed bond would bring a property tax increase of 4.7 cents if it's approved, according to a media release.
The increase for a resident's homestead is projected to be $37.60 per year for each $100,000 in taxable appraised value, officials said. The tax hike would not impact certain residents.
Those who are over 65 or disabled and have an approved homestead exemption would not see an increase in their tax bill if the bond is approved, barring certain improvements to their homesteads, officials said.
The Tom Green County elections administrator must receive the mail-in ballot by 7 p.m. Saturday, the day of the elections, if the carrier envelope for the ballot is not postmarked, according to officials.
The ballot must be received by the elections administrator by 5 p.m. Monday if the carrier envelope is postmarked by 7 p.m. Saturday. Other deadlines apply for overseas or military voters.
