Early voting for the El Paso Independent School District runoff election for the board of trustees District 5 seat began Monday and will end June 1.
Israel Irrobali and Cordia L. Vanessa Betts are the two candidates hoping to secure EPISD s District 5 trustee seat. Irrobali captured nearly 48% of votes, just shy of the more than 50% needed to avoid a runoff election. Betts brought in just over 17% of votes.
El Pasoans will choose who will help shape the future of two school districts Saturday in EPISD and SISD school board elections.
Ballots cast in El Paso s polling stations will carry extra weight in this election, where two school board elections will decide more than half the makeup of trustees on each board. There are 17 candidates competing for four seats in the EPISD race and 11 candidates vie for four seats in the SISD race.
Because EPISD uses a majority election system instead of plurality, the race could end in a runoff. In a majority vote, a candidate must win more than 50% of the total vote to win or the election goes to a runoff with the top two candidates. SISD uses a plurality vote.
