When casting ballots in person, acceptable photo ID is required under Texas Election Code requirements. As an incorporated home-rule city, League City conducts municipal elections for mayor and city council positions. The mayor and six council members elected by place serve three-year terms on a staggered basis. The next municipal election is scheduled for May 2025, with candidate filing occurring in January-February 2025. These nonpartisan elections take place on uniform election dates as Texas law requires. Residents can locate their specific polling location by entering their address at the Galveston County Elections website or through the Texas Secretary of State's voter portal. Early voting for county elections occurs at multiple locations including the League City Public Library at 100 West Walker Street, typically 10 days before election day. Public election records in Texas include voter registration rolls, available with restricted information per Texas Election Code Section 18.066, and campaign finance reports filed with the Texas Ethics Commission at https://www.ethics.state.tx.us. Candidate applications and filings, along with precinct-by-precinct election results, are published after each election.
