Tulia ISD cancels uncontested Place 4 election, sets early voting hours and poll-worker pay
Summary
Trustees canceled the uncontested Place 4 race for May 2, 2026 under Texas Election Code §2.053(a), approved early voting hours of 1–5 p.m. daily, appointed workers and set pay at $14.00 per hour.
Board President Clint Mahannah presided as trustees approved an Order of Cancellation for the May 2, 2026 school board election (Place 4) after learning candidate Kacy Quinton was unopposed. The motion carried unanimously on a motion by Nicole Gore, seconded by Jenni McCaslin.
Elections Administrator Maridel Montgomery had presented voting options and logistics for the district — which is the only local entity holding an election this year. Trustees later set early voting hours during the election period from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily, approved the roster of election workers and authorized a $14.00 hourly rate for those workers; motions approving workers and pay were adopted unanimously.
Why it matters: cancelling an uncontested race avoids the cost of holding that contest. The board recorded unanimous votes for each election item, documenting the action under Section 2.053(a) of the Texas Election Code.
