ELECTION UPDATE

 The City of Pearland General Election and Special Election is postponed to November 3, 2020.

 In response to the global coronavirus pandemic, Texas Governor Gregg Abbott issued a proclamation suspending certain provisions of the Texas Election Code to allow all local political subdivisions utilizing the May 2, 2020 uniform election date to postpone their election to the November 3, 2020 uniform election date.

At the March 23, 2020, Pearland City Council Regular Meeting, City Council voted to postpone the Pearland General and Special election to November 3, 2020. In addition, City Council approved the following guidelines required by the State:

 The City of Pearland is preserving all candidate filings and ballot order actions that have already been taken.

• All applications for a ballot by mail (ABBMs) that were filed for the May 2, 2020 election that are marked annual would apply for the November 3, 2020 election.  All single use ABBMs that were submitted for reasons of age or disability would still be valid for the November 3, 2020 election.  If a single use ABBM was submitted and indicated the reason for voting by mail was due to absence from the county, this ABBM would not be valid as the applicable election date has changed.  However, we would recommend that the political subdivision send a letter to these voters along with a new ABBM in case the circumstances surrounding their absence from the county are still valid or the voter is otherwise eligible to vote by mail.
• If a political subdivision has already sent out mail ballots, those mail ballots that are returned would still be valid for the November 3, 2020 postponed election date.
• All records, including candidate filings, applications to vote by mail, ballot proofs, and printed ballots shall be retained and preserved.  

Additional information will be posted as City Council solidifies the election requirements to postpone to November 3, 2020.

A General Election and Special Election will be ordered for November 3, 2020 for the purpose to elect Mayor, Councilmembers, Position 3, and Position 7, for a 3-year term each and for the purpose of submitting to the qualified voters of the City certain proposed amendments to the existing charter of the City of Pearland, Texas.
