Individuals will also cast ballots for candidates running for Princeton ISD. Candidates do not run by place and there are two vacancies.

Trustees in Princeton ISD are elected to three-year terms.
Princeton voters will also cast a ballot on the city’s proposed Home Rule Charter. Approval of the document is an all-or-nothing process that means voters cannot vote to only approve certain provisions.
At the state level, individuals will cast ballots for the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and state comptroller. They will also vote for a land commissioner, railroad commission and representatives on the state board of education.
State representatives and senators are also on this year’s ballot.
Residents will also vote for a county judge and district clerk.
Incumbent Republican Chris Hill is opposed by Democratic nominee Joshua Murray for the county judge seat. In the district clerk race, Republican Mike Gould faces Democrat Greg Brignac.
Residents will also vote for their U.S. representative for District 3.
