San Antonio will shift its elections to November in victory for Mayor Jones
SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio will move its municipal elections from May to November in odd-numbered years after a 6-5 council vote Thursday afternoon.
The vote means the next time San Antonio voters will elect a mayor and council members will be in November 2029.
The decision came after a last-minute blitz by Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones, who said she only learned of the opportunity last month.
The mayor was able to quickly rally support among numerous activist and community groups — as well as former San Antonio mayors — who hope the move will boost turnout in the city’s mayoral and council races.
