San Antonio City Council ballot set for May election

The latest: Attorney Marc Whyte made it official and filed to run for the District 10 seat. He made his decision after weeks of hinting at a campaign — and filed the same day incumbent Clayton Perry announced he would not seek re-election to District 10.

• Colleagues had advised Perry not to run while he faces a charge of driving while intoxicated.

What we're watching: How elections in districts 1, 7 and 10 shape up.

• District 1 incumbent Mario Bravo was under fire last fall for his behavior toward his then-colleague and former romantic partner Ana Sandoval over a budget disagreement. An independent investigator hired by the city found that Bravo violated workplace violence policy, and his colleagues dealt him a vote of no confidence. He faces eight challengers.
• District 7's Sandoval resigned last month to take a job with the University Health System. She left for better pay and to care for family, leaving the seat up for grabs.

State of play: A charter amendment known as Proposition A will also be on the ballot. It will ask voters to decriminalize abortion and marijuana and make police reforms permanent.

• However, city attorney Andy Segovia has said the city can't enforce most of the charter amendment provisions because they run counter to state law.

Details: The nonpartisan election will be the first using a new City Council map approved last year, after a redistricting committee redistributed population more evenly across all 10 districts.

• You can type in your address online to find out which district you live in. That's the only district race you will vote in. Everyone can vote in the mayoral race.
• April 6 is the last day to register to vote in the May 6 election.
