General Information About School Board Elections

The Hays CISD Board of Trustees is composed of seven members. Five trustees are elected from single-member-districts and two are elected at-large. Trustees are elected by plurality (not majority) to serve three-year terms. A plurality election means that the winning candidate must receive more votes than any other candidate, but is not required to earn more than 50% of the vote (a majority). There are no run-off elections for Hays CISD school board seats.

Single-Member-District Election Map

Hays CISD has territory in three counties: Hays, Travis, and Caldwell.

Specific polling locations, dates, and times depend on the county in which the voter resides. The locations, dates, and times are linked using the election by year menu on this page.

Hays and Travis Counties use vote center counties, meaning Hays and Travis County voters may cast ballots for any election in which they are eligible at any vote center in the respective counties during the times the vote centers are operating. Caldwell County will have a specific polling location for early and election day voting.
