AUSTIN (KXAN) — It's Election Day in Central Texas. Several local cities, counties and school districts are holding elections on Saturday.
Eight cities will elect a mayor, while seven Central Texas school districts have bond propositions.
In Austin, six territories could disannex from the city as part of state legislation passed during the previous session. The legislation specifically targeted areas annexed into cities that have a population of 500,000 people or more between March 3, 2015, and December 1, 2017.
Maps of each of the six areas that could vote to remove themselves from Austin city limits are available here.

As for what it means for the rest of Austin, the City said property taxes will be collected from the areas — should they vote to disannex — until “the area’s share of City debt has been paid off.”
“In sum, disannexation will not have an impact on City revenue,” a City spokesperson previously told KXAN's Grace Reader.
