To see if you’re already registered to vote in Travis County, visit https://elections.traviscountytx.gov/voter-lookup/ and for Williamson County, visit https://apps.wilco.org/elections.

Don’t forget!  This election cycle includes some local elections that aren’t partisan.  If you vote a straight party ticket, make sure you scroll all the way to the end of the ballot and vote in the races that aren’t party affiliated (WB MUD Board, WBCL Trustees, and RRISD Board elections).  Who you elect at the local level can have a much greater impact on your everyday life than state or national elections.  Don’t forget, RRISD has a bond initiative on the ballot as well.

Visit https://bond.roundrockisd.org/ for complete details on the bond election.  This site allows you to see what’s planned for each campus and also breaks it out by individual Propositions.

RRISD Bond Election – $998 Million

In August, the district’s board of trustees voted to call a bond election for
November, with four propositions appearing on the ballot.
The dollar amounts of the four propositions under consideration total just
under $1 billion—$998,135,000:

Proposition A: general improvements, $798.3 million
Proposition B: technology improvements, $125.3 million
Proposition C: fine arts, $8.62 million
Proposition D: athletics, $65.91 million

To learn more about the propositions, you’re encouraged to attend one of the remaining RRISD information sessions.  More information about these sessions and registration for virtual meetings is available at https//bond.roundrockisd.org.

Sept. 26, 6-7 p.m. in Spanish virtually via ZOOM
Oct. 3, 6-7 p.m. virtually via Zoom
Oct. 9, 6-7 p.m. at Stony Point High School, 1801 Tiger Trail, RR

What this Means to the RRISD Taxpayer:

“As per Superintendent Hafedh Azaiez, the District could take on up to $1 billion in bond projects and actually LOWER the debt service tax rate from $0.1980 per $100 of valuation for the fiscal year 2024-2025 to $0.1880 per $100 of valuation, a decrease of one-cent per $100 of valuation.”
