2020 El Paso elections


On November 3, 2020 El Paso County elected the mayor of El Paso, Texas, four members of city council, two county commissioners, county sheriff, state senator, and five state representatives. El Pasoans voted for members of the House of Representatives of the United States from the 16th and 23rd districts of Texas, district attorney, United States senator, and president of the United States.
