Its official. Harlingen will be under seen using single member districts.
It was the only race that was lacking final tally votes Tuesday night and now Action 4 News has those numbers.
Amendment One passed with more than 5,000 votes while Amendment Two was too close that neither "for" or "against" received enough support.
Action 4 News spoke with Harlingen Mayor Chris Boswell to get his outlook on this election.
"I think we knew all along that they had a chance their promoters were well organized worked hard to pass the Amendment," Boswell said.
So what’s next to the city of Harlingen?
"The next thing that will have to be done is the lines will have to be drawn," Mayor Boswell said. "The commissioners will have to approve the creation of the districts and will probably get started with that process right away."
He adds it may be as soon as the next city commissioners meeting for proposals.
But how exactly will these lines be divided.
"My understanding each district has to have more or less the same number of people," Boswell said.
Action 4 News asked Harlingen residents how they felt about the election verdict and got some mixed reviews.
George Merrill, a Harlingen resident doesn't agree with the verdict.
"Limiting my voice to just one person. I rather have the whole city accountable for the city council accountable for what they’re doing at the end were all part of the same city," he said.
But Harlingen resident Frank Resendez says he's all for it.
"Having the person living in the same area or district or precinct that where I live it will give us a better representation because they live there they know exactly what we need," Resendez said.
