San Luis voters had a 16% turnout on Tuesday in the General Election. The ballot included three at-large City Council seats, two key propositions, and choices for higher government positions, as detailed by the City of San Luis.

Voters have tentatively approved Proposition No. 430 with 58.30% of the vote, which would allow a franchise agreement with Southwest Gas Corporation and grant the company use of the city's public right-of-way. Proposition No. 431, which proposes an Alternative Expenditure Limitation to give elected officials more control over the city's spending, was approved by 52.80% of voters. However, these results are not final, as reported by the City of San Luis.

The winners of the San Luis City Council election will be officially confirmed after the vote canvassing on November 13, followed by a swearing-in ceremony. The top candidates are Esteban Rosales with 1,004 votes, and incumbents Luis E. Cabrera and Ruben Walshe, who received 933 and 937 votes, respectively. While decisions have been made and votes counted, voter turnout was low—only 2,595 of 16,317 registered voters participated. The City of San Luis has posted the results on its website, reflecting the will of those who voted.
