League City to Hold Advisory Vote on License Plate Reader Use
League City is putting a measure on the November ballot for residents to advise on the city's use of Flock automatic license plate readers. The vote will be advisory, not legally binding.
Houston, TX, August 11, 2026 —
League City residents will have the opportunity to weigh in on the city’s use of Flock automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) through an upcoming ballot measure. The vote is scheduled for the November election and is intended to provide an advisory opinion from the electorate to the city council.
The measure will ask voters to advise on the city’s utilization of Flock ALPR technology. Automatic license plate readers capture images of license plates and can store data, including the plate number, time, date, and location. This information can be used by law enforcement for various investigative purposes.
It is important to note that the outcome of this vote will be advisory in nature. This means that while the results will reflect the sentiment of the voters, they will not be legally binding on the League City Council. The council will ultimately retain the authority to make decisions regarding the city’s use of ALPR technology.
The specific details of how the advisory vote will be phrased on the ballot, and the exact scope of the city’s current or proposed use of Flock ALPRs, were not detailed in the provided summary. Further information regarding the ballot question and the city’s ALPR policy is expected as the November election approaches.
This advisory vote signifies a step towards community engagement on issues related to public safety technology and its implementation within League City.
