Hays County voters weigh in on city, school board elections About 20% of registered Hays County voters took to the polls to weigh in on elections across San Marcos, Buda and Kyle on Nov. 4, according to the county elections office. Officials certified the results on Nov. 10. Candidates who earned the majority of votes in each race were elected outright, while the top two vote-getters in races without at least 50% of the vote will advance to a runoff election on Dec. 13 to determine the winner. In addition to council races and the city of Kyle’s next mayor, each municipality proposed charter amendments—Buda had eight, San Marcos had 12 and Kyle had 17. All charter amendments passed, except those listed below.
