The Rio Grande Valley is spending Sunday celebrating the Fourth of July and Independence Day.
But south of the border, voters in Tamaulipas and 11 other other states are headed to the polls.
Up for grabs in Tamaulipas is the seat for governor, 22 state representatives, 14 party-based state legislature seats and the mayor's office in 43 cities across the state.
KGBT-TV's Spanish-language newscast "Noticias de la Frontera" is working with its Mexican media partners to bring these exciting election results.
Mexican voters head to the polls amid a wave of drug cartel-related violence that has plagued Tamaulipas and other border states.
The elections come shortly after the assassination of Rodolfo Torre-Cantu, a PRI party member and the leading candidate in race for governor in Tamaulipas. His brother Egidio Torre-Cantu took his place in the race.
Voting in Reynosa, Matamoros and other border communities has gone without violence ut so far, voter turnout has been low.
Some of Reynosa's 451,000 registered voters reported having to go to neighboring polling places because election officials did not show up to their local polling place.
The polls in Tamaulipas and other states close at 6 p.m. Sunday.
Action 4 News and Noticias de la Frontera is expected to have results starting as early as 7 p.m. Sunday.
