trymahjong Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Houston to Vote on Term LimitsVote on Term LimitsCouncil voted to place an item on the November 2015 ballot to amend our city’s term limits for the offices of the Mayor, the Controller, and City Council Members. Our current system allows those officeholders a maximum of three, two-year terms and Houstonians will have the opportunity to vote on whether to amend this system to allow two, four-year terms. If passed, the transition period would allow elected officials currently serving their first term to seek two additional four-year terms. Elected officials currently serving their second term would be eligible to seek one additional four-year term. Mayor Parker and other elected officials currently serving their third term would not be eligible for any additional terms. This alternative reflects the solution recommended by the 21-member non-partisan Houston Term Limits Review Commission in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
