  • Mayor: held now by Eric L. Johnson (can't run again: term limit) source
  • City Council, Districts 1–14 source

How it works

  • The City Council moved Dallas's city elections from May to November of odd years (Resolution 25-1776, November 12, 2025); 2027 is the first November election.
  • Nonpartisan. Dallas's charter limits the mayor to two consecutive terms.
  • A runoff, if needed, falls on a Saturday set by the Secretary of State.
