The City of Houston held a special election on November 4, 2025, to fill the vacancy in the Office of Council Member, At-Large Position 4. No candidate received a majority of the vote at the special election. Texas Election Code 2.025(a) requires that a runoff election shall be held on a Saturday designated by the secretary of state. The Texas Secretary of State designated Saturday, December 13, 2025, as the election date for all runoff elections resulting from elections held by local political subdivisions on the November 4, 2025, uniform election date.
The proposed ordinance orders a runoff election to be held on December 13, 2025, to fill a vacancy in the office of Council Member, At-Large Position 4, resulting from the automatic resignation of Council Member Letitia Plummer on July 8, 2025, pursuant to Article XVI, section 65 of the Texas Constitution.
The City will conduct the election under election services contracts with Harris, Montgomery, and Fort Bend Counties.
