The District 1, 4, 5, and 6 seats on the North East Independent School District school board in Texas were up in a regular general election on November 3, 2020. The filing deadline for this election was February 14, 2020.

The District 3 seat was also up in a special general election on November 3, 2020.[1]

This election was originally scheduled on May 2, 2020, but was moved to November 3, 2020, amid concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.[2] In a proclamation made on March 18, 2020, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) suspended Sections 41.0052(a) and (b) of the Texas election code. This allowed local governments to move elections scheduled on May 2, 2020, to the next uniform state election date, which fell on November 3, 2020. This suspension only applied to elections occurring in 2020.[3]

Ballotpedia provided comprehensive coverage of how election dates and procedures changed in 2020. While the majority of changes occurred as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, some changes occurred for other reasons.

Texas modified its absentee/mail-in voting, candidate filing, and early voting procedures for the November 3, 2020, general election as follows:

  • Absentee/mail-in voting: Local election officials could not reject an absentee ballot due to a perceived signature mismatch unless the voter was given a pre-rejection notice of this finding and a "meaningful opportunity to cure his or her ballot's rejection." Return locations for absentee/mail-in ballots were limited to one per county.
  • Candidate filing procedures: The petition deadline for independent candidates for non-presidential office was extended to August 13, 2020.
  • Early voting: Early voting began on October 13, 2020.
