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.

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.
