Council sets municipal general election for Nov. 4, 2025; staff asked to assist voter education on constitutional amendments
Edinburg — The Edinburg City Council on Aug. 4 adopted an order to hold the municipal general election on Nov. 4, 2025. The order begins the administrative process for the city’s election calendar and related logistics.

During the discussion council members noted that the Nov. 4 ballot will include a slate of state constitutional amendment propositions (speakers said there are 17 amendments on the statewide ballot). Council Member Molly (commenter) asked about voter education and urged staff to coordinate Spanish‑language outreach to help voters understand the propositions and speed voting lines, especially for voters who may find the amendment texts difficult or confusing.

Why it matters: Municipal elections and concurrent statewide propositions can affect turnout and vote processing. Voter education efforts about amendment language and Spanish translation can reduce voter confusion and speed polling operations.

What officials said: Staff said sample ballots will be available from the county and state and will be posted on the city website. The city manager said she would pass along the council’s recommendation to seek volunteer or county support for Spanish‑language explanations and outreach.

Ending: City staff will proceed with election scheduling and outreach planning; specific education events or partnerships will be coordinated before the November election.
