Relating to the exclusion of at-large and mayoral seats from the requirement of re-election following apportionment.

This bill amends Texas Local Government Code Section 21.006 to exempt certain city council and mayoral positions from requiring new elections after redistricting. Specifically, municipalities that elect council members or the mayor at-large (meaning elected by all voters citywide, not by district) will not need to hold new elections for those positions following a redistricting map change - unless the current term of the office would expire under existing law. The change directly affects Texas cities using at-large voting for council or mayoral seats, preventing unnecessary elections solely due to redistricting. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
