In the first week of early voting, nearly 33% of registered voters in Hays County have cast their ballots in the Nov. 5 general election. There are 186,492 registered voters in Hays County, and—as of Oct. 27—61,297 people have cast their ballots, according to data from the Hays County Elections Office.


On the ballot

Hays County, San Marcos, Buda, Kyle and San Marcos CISD have several propositions and elected positions on the November ballot.

Hays County residents will have the opportunity to vote on Proposition A, the 2024 Hays County Transportation Program—a $440 million transportation bond. You can learn more about the proposition through previous Community Impact reporting.

San Marcos CISD officials have decided to place a voter-approval tax rate election, or VATRE, on the Nov. 5 general election ballot. A VATRE is required when a school board adopts a tax rate that exceeds the district’s voter-approval tax rate, according to the Texas Association of School Business Officials.


There are also several contested races in Hays County, including Kyle City Council Place 5, San Marcos mayor and San Marcos City Council places 5 and 6. More information on the candidates in those elections can be found on Community Impact's website.
