Texas Elections Conclude, Preliminary Results Awaited Across Major Cities

On May 3, several major Texas cities held local elections, including races for city councils, mayors, school boards, and bond propositions. In Amarillo, early voting turnout reached approximately 9%, with results determining the makeup of the city council, mayor, and school boards. Laredo voters largely rejected four bond propositions on their ballot according to unofficial early voting results. In San Antonio, voters selected a new mayor and all ten city council seats from a crowded field, with the possibility of a mayoral runoff if no candidate received over 50% of the vote. El Paso County featured competitive school board and municipal races, though early voter turnout remained low. Election results and updates were made available online by local news outlets as polls closed.
