Political subdivisions in Texas can change their general election date to November if they currently hold it on a different date.

This bill amends the Texas Election Code to allow the governing body of certain political subdivisions to change their general election date to November, aligning with the uniform election date. This change applies to political subdivisions other than counties or municipal utility districts and must occur by December 31, 2026. The bill's effective date depends on whether it receives a two-thirds vote in the legislature, in which case it would take effect immediately; otherwise, it would take effect on September 1, 2025.
