The 2015 Houston mayoral election will take place on December 12, 2015, to elect the Mayor of Houston, Texas. As no candidate won a majority of the vote during the election on November 3, 2015, a run off will be held on December 12, 2015 between the top two finishers. Sylvester Turner had 32% while Bill King had 25%.〔http://abc13.com/news/turner-king-headed-for-runoff-for-houston-mayor/1066658/〕 Turner and King proceeded to the run off election. Thirteen candidates appeared on the November ballot. A poll of likely voters conducted in June revealed that half of the city's likely voters were undecided, and that three of the candidates included in the poll, Sylvester Turner, Adrian Garcia and Chris Bell were within the margin of error of the top two spots. However, the final results were significantly different from the early polling. Mayoral elections in Houston are biennial, with the winner being sworn-in in the following January for a two-year term. The election is officially nonpartisan. Incumbent Mayor Annise Parker, a member of the Democratic Party who has been in office since 2010, is term-limited and could not run for re-election to a fourth term in office. During the month between the general election and the runoff, Bell endorsed King, while Parker and Garcia endorsed Turner. ==Candidates== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Houston mayoral election, 2015」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
