The polls have closed in Texas for the November 2024 general election and results are beginning to come in.
In West Texas, a handful of competitive local races are on the ballot in the Midland-Odessa area, including the race for Odessa mayor, city council seats in both cities and multiple Midland ISD school board seats.
Most candidates for local races in the Big Bend region are running unopposed in single-party contests that were essentially decided earlier this year in primary and primary runoff elections. In Brewster County, Precinct 3 voters are deciding on four Marathon ISD school board races. In Jeff Davis County, three candidates are competing for two at-large seats on the Fort Davis ISD school board.
Alpine voters are deciding on a handful of proposed amendments to the city's charter.
Perhaps the region’s highest-profile state legislative contest is the race for Texas House District 74. The sweeping borderland district stretches from the El Paso area through the Big Bend and on to Eagle Pass, one of the focal points of Gov. Greg Abbott’s controversial Operation Lone Star border security program.
