Evant ISD Trustee Filing Ends Feb. 13; Election Set for May 2

Residents and prospective candidates have until today to file for a seat on the Evant Independent School District Board of Trustees. The district’s official filing window opened Jan. 14 and closes Feb. 13, with a certified write-in application deadline of Feb. 17.

Two three-year seats are up for election. Evant ISD lists the Board of Trustee Election Date as May 2, 2026, with polling hours 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. and the polling place at the Evant ISD Central Office, 339 Memory Lane, Evant. Early in-person voting is scheduled April 20–28, 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., at the same address. The district’s posted last day to register to vote is April 2.

Prospective candidates can pick up or file application materials at the Evant ISD Central Office, Attention: Lisa LaComb, EISD Administrative Assistant. Office pick-up hours are 7:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. The district lists a mailing address for filings as Evant ISD, PO Box 339, 339 Memory Lane, Evant, TX 76525, and the district phone number is (254) 471-5536. The district’s election materials include an Application for a Place on the Ballot, Appointment of a Campaign Treasurer by a Candidate, Declaration of Write-In Candidacy, and guidance such as Code of Fair Campaign Practices and a legislative update requiring campaign finance reports to be posted online.

There is a discrepancy between the district’s dates and a local news listing that reported the election as May 3 and a last voter-registration date of April 3. Evant ISD’s posted schedule (May 2 election and April 2 registration deadline) is the district’s official information; voters and candidates should treat those dates as primary and may confirm with the Coryell County elections office if they require additional assurance.

The election has practical budgetary and policy implications for Coryell County. School trustees approve the district budget, oversee spending that affects classroom staffing and capital projects, and influence property tax rates that fund operations. The district’s note that campaign finance reports must be posted online signals increased transparency and an administrative compliance burden for small, local campaigns; candidates should plan for the Appointment of a Campaign Treasurer and timely filings.

What happens next for readers: candidates who have not filed must submit paperwork by the end of today to be on the ballot, or file a write-in application by Feb. 17. Voters who need to register should do so by April 2 to participate. For applications and election questions contact Lisa LaComb at llacomb@evantisd.org or call (254) 471-5536. The Board election on May 2 will determine two trustees for three-year terms and shape Evant ISD’s policy and fiscal direction for years to come.
