Texas SB914 allows certain small cities to change their election date for officers to align with the November uniform election date.

Texas SB914 amends the Election Code to allow the governing body of a city with a population of 9,000 or less, located predominantly in a county with a total area of less than 6,200 square miles, to change the date of their general election for officers to the November uniform election date. This applies to cities that have adopted a council-manager form of government and currently hold their elections on a different date. The change must occur by December 31, 2026, and the provision expires on January 1, 2027.
