Early voting results for the June 7, 2025 runoff election in San Antonio will be announced at 7 p.m. Voters will have the opportunity to follow all races and view detailed results through the Vote 2025 page.

The election is particularly significant as it features critical contests for the San Antonio City Council, including the mayoral position. With Mayor Ron Nirenberg finishing his term due to term limits, the race for mayor has intensified between candidates Gina Ortiz Jones and Rolando Pablos, both vying to lead the city.

In the council races, four seats are available, with one incumbent, Sukh Kaur, defending her position in District 1 against challenger Patty Gibbons. Kaur garnered 49% of the votes during the May 3 general election but fell short of an outright win, setting the stage for a competitive runoff.

Next, in District 6, Kelly Ann Gonzalez and Ric Galvan face off after a closely contested May election to fill the seat left vacant by former Councilwoman Melissa Cabello Havrda, who recently attempted a mayoral run.

District 8 will introduce a new representative as Ivalis Meza Gonzalez takes on Paula McGee. Meza Gonzalez led a crowded initial race with 40% of the votes, but McGee is optimistic about her chances in the runoff.

Lastly, the competition for District 9 features Misty Spears and Angi Taylor Aramburu, who are campaigning to succeed longtime Councilman John Courage, also a former mayoral candidate.

Residents seeking more details on local races are encouraged to stay informed and engaged in the upcoming elections. They can also sign up for a free election newsletter for updates and results.

Encouraging civic participation is vital during this electoral process, as every vote can significantly impact the outcome and direction of city leadership.
