The current approach is a long-standing result of a federal court order <br />stemming from the 1965 Voting Rights Act. There are approximately 350 home rule cities <br />in Texas. According to the latest survey, 94% of mayors in council-manager cities are <br />elected at large. The other 6% are elected by their colleagues on the city council, as in <br />the Paris case. It is thought that election at large will generally enhance the mayor's <br />leadership and powers of persuasion and will also promote greater voter turnout in local <br />elections. <br />Sec. 21.
