Weslaco, TX (KRGV) — Five races across the Rio Grande Valley will go to runoff elections after no candidate reached the 50% mark in the midterm elections on Tuesday.
Los Fresnos has a runoff for mayor, where incumbent Alejandro Flores and challenger Amber Arriaga will be back on the ballot.
Hidalgo County also has runoff races for Mission mayor, Mission City Council Places 2 and 3, and Weslaco commissioner-at-large.
Hidalgo County Elections Administrator Hilda Salinas encourages voters in those cities to head back out to the polls.
“There were a lot of people who were out, making their voices heard by casting their ballot. So, I would hope that the momentum continues," Salinas said.
Early voting runs from Nov. 30, 2026 through Dec. 8, 2026. Runoff Election Day is Dec. 12, 2026.
Salinas said only registered voters residing within those specific municipalities are eligible to vote in the runoff elections.
