Elections

2017

The city of San Antonio, Texas, held general elections for mayor and all 10 of its city council seats on May 6, 2017. Candidates had to earn a majority of the votes cast in this election to win. Any race where no candidate received a majority (50 percent plus one) of the general election votes cast for that position advanced to a runoff election on June 10, 2017. Ana Sandoval defeated incumbent Cris Medina, Michele Dalbis-Robledo, Marco Reyes, and Alfredo Esparza Colunga in the general election for the District 7 seat on the San Antonio City Council.
