At the local level, residents within Princeton ISD will vote to elect two trustees from a pool of four candidates. In the election, the two candidates who win the most votes will assume the positions.
Incumbent Starla Sharpe, candidate Tim Tidwell, candidate Julia Schmoker and candidate John Campbell will vie for the two vacant positions. The candidates do not run with a party affiliation.
Additionally, residents will cast their ballot on a Home Rule Charter. Typically, cities make the transition from general law to home rule after reaching 5,000 residents but the measure has failed four times with the most recent attempt in 2014.
Approving the Home Rule Charter is an all-or-nothing process which means that voters must either vote to approve the entire charter as presented or vote against. Voters can view a copy of the charter in English or Spanish by visiting princetontx.gov.
