Voters in Districts 2, 4, 6, 7 and 10 will get to select their council members.
Why it matters: The City Council determines the city budget, sets the tax rate and oversees the city operations.
District 4: José "Chito" Vela, an immigration attorney who is the incumbent in this north-central district, faces a challenge from community organizer Monica Guzmán.
District 7: With incumbent Leslie Pool term-limited, seven people are trying to represent this north-central district, including former Democratic congressional candidate Mike Siegel, civil rights attorney Gary Bledsoe and former union organizer Adam Powell.
District 10: With incumbent Alison Alter deciding not to run for a third term in this northwest Austin district, voters will decide between consultant Marc Duchen, who opposes city reforms to encourage housing density, and Ashika Ganguly, a former Austin public school teacher who is the legislative director for Austin Democratic state Rep. John Bucy.
