Kyle Mayor and Council District 1 head to runoffs, Proposition N rejected

Something to note

San Marcos, Buda and Kyle all operate under a majority vote system—meaning candidates must receive 50% plus one vote to win. If no candidate meets that threshold, a runoff between the top two candidates will be scheduled for Dec. 13, said Hays County Elections Administrator Jennifer Doinoff.

Early voting results are in for the November 2025 Kyle races and proposed charter amendments.

Kyle voters are choosing the city's next mayor, following Mayor Travis Mitchell's resignation, one year before his term ends. The new mayor will serve the remainder of Mitchell's term.

Three City Council seats are also up for grabs, including districts 1, 2 and 3.

Early voting showed that 19,253 ballots were cast countywide, out of 189,688 registered Hays County voters. Polls closed at 7 p.m.; voters who were in line at 7 p.m. were still able to cast ballots.
