Vote 2024: July elections for La Grulla, Palmview and San Juan
Three cities across Hidalgo and Starr counties are having special elections this month.
Early voting is currently underway for the special mayoral election in La Grulla.
The election was called after former La Grulla Mayor Laura Solis stepped down from office in April over a new policy at the La Joya school district where she works at that prevents district employees “in supervisory positions” from holding elected office.
