1 Section 2051.152 of the Government Code requires all
political subdivisions with the authority to impose a tax maintain a publically
accessible Internet website and post the date and location of the next election
for officers of the political subdivision and the requirements and deadline for
filing for candidacy of each elected office of the political subdivision, which
shall be continuously posted for at least one year before the election day for
the office.
2 Filing deadlines: generally, the filing deadline is
the 78th day prior to Election Day. The Code may provide a different special
election filing deadline. See Section 201.054 of the Texas Election Code (the
“Code”). Write-in deadlines for general and special elections vary; the
deadline for most local (city, school, other) special elections is now the same
day as the filing deadline for application for a place on the ballot in a May
election or November election.
3If no candidate for a four-year term has filed
an application for a place on the ballot for a city office, the
filing deadline for that office is extended to 5 p.m. of the 57th day before
the election. For the May 7, 2022 election, this is Friday, March 11,
2022. See Section 143.008 of the Code.
4 Different
deadlines apply to the last day to receive ballots sent by the following:
1) non-military and military voters who mailed ballots from overseas and
submitted a regular state Application for Ballot By Mail (“ABBM”), 2)
non-military voters who mailed ballots from overseas and who submitted a
Federal Postcard Application (“FPCA”), and (3) military voters who mailed
ballots domestically or from overseas and who submitted an FPCA. See Secs.
86.007, 101.001 and 101.057 of the Code. Please contact the Elections Division
of the Office of the Texas Secretary of State at 1-800-252-VOTE (8683) for
additional information.
