Tuesday is Election Day in San Marcos and throughout Hays County, though this off off-year ballot is one of the lightest in the election cycle.
However, the action in San Marcos will involve two city council races. In Place 6, two-term incumbent John Thomaides, a small business owner, is defending his seat against beauty consultant Monica Garcia and retired civil servant Anita Fuller. In Place 5, where incumbent Pam Couch decided to not run, the hopefuls are vying to take her place. Those candidates are academic advisor Lisa Marie Coppoletta, small business owner Shaune Maycock and homebuilder Ryan Thomason, who is on the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z).
The election also will decide the fate of 11 proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution. The amendments all were passed by the state legislature this year before going to the voters.
Six different polling locations are to be open in San Marcos from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Voters in Precincts 110 and 113 vote at the Hays County Elections Office, located at 401-C Broadway Street. Voters in Precincts 111 and 112 vote at the Dunbar Center, located at 801 Martin Luther King Drive.
