Key Upcoming 2020 Texas Primary, General and Uniform Election Dates

 

On March 18th Governor Greg Abbott issued a proclamation suspending provisions of the Texas Election Code to allow political subdivisions to postpone their 2020 local elections. This means local governments now have the ability to postpone their May 2, 2020 elections until November 3, 2020. Given the current health crisis a number of Texas political subdivisions have changed their elections dates from May 2, 2020 to November 3, 2020. Therefore we will now list both dates (May 2, 2020 and November 3, 2020) as possible uniform election dates for political subdivisions.
