Vote Forward

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has dissolved parliament and called a snap election for November 29, 2026, moving the vote forward from its originally scheduled date in 2027. The decision follows a major parliamentary defeat on October 2, when the right-wing opposition handed his minority government a significant loss. The move ends his Socialist-led coalition's term early and sets up a snap national campaign.

Les Burns says he contacted his local board of elections after they told him voting information was mailed to him twice, only for both mailings to be returned by the post office marked "moved, left no forwarding address." He says he asked the board to resend the form in a plain unmarked envelope. The account has drawn attention amid wider concerns about voters not receiving election mail and the reliability of postal delivery during election season.

The Taylor city council is set to vote on a proposed 664-acre technology campus, a development that would rank among the larger industrial projects in the area. The council's decision will determine whether the project moves forward, with residents and officials weighing potential jobs and economic growth against land use and infrastructure concerns.

The International Olympic Committee has set a deadline for cities wanting to host the 2036 Summer Games and laid out a three-year selection process. Interested bidders must come forward before the cutoff, after which the IOC will evaluate candidates before members vote on the host. The decision shapes the next decade of Olympic planning and is drawing attention from potential host cities worldwide.
