(Laredo, Texas)-Following the Nov. 3 general election, Laredo College will hold a runoff election for Position 9 on the Laredo College District Board of Trustees after no candidate received a majority of the votes cast in the race. The runoff election will take place on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2026, with early voting scheduled from Monday, Nov. 30 through Tuesday, Dec. 8.
Under Texas Education Code Section 130.082(g), a candidate must receive a majority of the votes cast for a position to be declared elected. If no candidate receives a majority, the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes advance to a runoff election. This requirement is also reflected in Laredo College Board Policy BBBB, which states that if no candidate receives a majority vote, the two candidates who received the highest number of votes shall run against each other for the position.
The runoff election for all positions shall be held on a Saturday designated by the secretary of state.
Laredo College President Dr. Minita Ramírez thanked the community for its strong participation in this year’s election and encouraged voters to return to the polls for the runoff.
