Before you vote, catch up on Burnt Orange Report's coverage of the 2012 Austin City Council elections:

  • For a recap of the labor, public safety, and Democratic club endorsements, my colleague Karl-Thomas Musselman has done the work of compiling them here, here, here, and here.

  • Catch up on the controversy surrounding Brigid Shea's bid on a 2002 Water Treatment Plant 4 contract, and information that she may have been acting as a lobbyist without registering as one. Read those stories here and here.

  • Want to see the BOR PAC / CAAAD poll on the Mayor's race? Find that here. How about our BOR reader poll? Find out who won that here.

  • Want to read the candidates' answers to the 2012 Democratic multi-club questionnaire? (Seriously worth a read before you vote, if you haven't already made up your mind, and even if you have, for the sheer entertainment value.) Find those here.

Want to vote? Great! Early Voting locations are listed below the jump.

Can't Wait (0.00 / 0)
Can't wait to see how unimportant these endorsements end up being, same as with Shade.

We are gonna be Partying Hard the night of May 12th.  Two Runoffs and Two Upsets are my call.  The Runoffs will be for Mayor and Place 5.  See if you can guess what the Two Upsets will be...
