City Election Date Move

At a glance

• What: The 2027 City Calendar, which the October 14, 2026 agenda said moves the general election from May to November 2, 2027, with the runoff date awaiting Texas Secretary of State confirmation.
• Related: Council separately funded a special election on November 3, 2026 (see Special Election Funding). The minutes of August 25 to September 23, 2026 do not mention the calendar item.
• Where it stands: The 2027 City Calendar (26-2883A) was adopted as amended on October 14, 2026. The minutes do not mention the election date, so whether the November 2, 2027 general election is in the adopted calendar is not confirmed.

Detail
