In McAllen's District 5 special election on May 2, 2026, voters chose to fill the remainder of Mayor Pro Tem Seby Haddad’s term. Unofficial results show Michael Fallek leading with 571 votes (50.04%), followed by Felida Villarreal with 411 votes (36.02%) and Mark Murray with 159 votes (13.94%). The total turnout was low, with only 1,141 ballots cast from about 12,000 registered voters. Three provisional ballots remain uncounted, which could potentially trigger a runoff if they do not favor Fallek. Hidalgo County is expected to announce the final results on Tuesday.
