Election Day is Tuesday

2022 General Election Guide

Every two years, voters across the nation, state and locally go to the polls to make their selections of those candidates to lead and represent them for an ensuing period of time. These General Elections are held on the first Tuesday in November on even-numbered years, and that means there will be a General Election here on November 8.

With a few days to go until Election Day, Culberson County has seen sluggish early voting turnout at the polls. As of Wednesday evening, 312 voters had cast their ballots, with early voting ending on Friday.

Locally voters will be called upon to elect a County Judge, the only race that will be contested at the county level. Incumbent County Judge Carlos Urias faces two challengers from Tim Head and write-in candidate TJ Shipp.

During an Aug. 22 board meeting, Culberson County-Allamoore ISD trustees called a voter approval tax rate election —also referred to as a golden penny election. Approval by voters is required to authorize CCAISD to access 3 golden pennies as part of the district’s tax rate.
