Round Rock Election Day Guide 2026: Where to Vote and What’s on the Ballot |
Polls are open Nov. 3 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with free local transit, countywide vote centers and RRISD Proposition A |
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, and eligible Williamson County voters may cast a ballot from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at any county Election Day vote center.
Early voting ended Friday, Oct. 30, so anyone reading this on publication day should use the Election Day information below rather than an early-voting schedule.
Where can Round Rock residents vote?
Williamson County uses countywide vote centers, which means registered county voters are not limited to one assigned neighborhood precinct on Election Day.
Officially listed Round Rock-area centers include the Allen R. Baca Center, the Bob Bennett Building and the Williamson County Round Rock Annex, along with additional centers elsewhere in the county.
The county’s current list also identifies several former polling places that are not in use for the November 2026 election, including Texas State University Round Rock Campus, so checking the official lookup before leaving home matters.
Use the Williamson County Voter and Sample Ballot Lookup to confirm your registration, see your personalized ballot and choose a current location.
Need a ride? Round Rock transit is free on Election Day
Round Rock residents can ride free on Tuesday, Nov. 3, through CapMetro’s Fare-Free to Vote initiative.
The promotion applies to all Round Rock fixed routes throughout Election Day.
Round Rock Rides, the city’s on-demand service, is also participating, but riders must follow its normal reservation procedures and service remains subject to availability.
The free fare applies only on Election Day, and the City says previously booked reservations will not be refunded.
Residents who need the on-demand service can reserve through the Round Rock Rides app or website, or call 512-312-2124 during reservation-center hours.
What is on the ballot for Round Rock ISD voters?
Many local voters will see Round Rock Independent School District Proposition A, a voter-approved tax-rate election commonly called a VATRE.
The proposition asks voters whether to ratify a total district tax rate of $0.9484 per $100 of taxable value.
The ballot language states that the rate would increase current-year maintenance and operations revenue by 3.09 percent, or approximately $12.3 million compared with the preceding year.
The district says the higher rate would generate roughly $30 million in additional local maintenance-and-operations revenue before state recapture, leaving approximately half available to Round Rock ISD.
If approved, the district says the available revenue would support employee compensation, including a 2 percent midpoint-based increase for eligible staff who did not receive a raise through the state Teacher Retention Allotment, adjustments intended to reduce salary compression and higher starting pay for several employee groups.
Round Rock ISD estimates the impact on an owner of a median-value home with a homestead exemption at about $199 per year, or $16.59 per month.
That figure is a district estimate, not an individualized tax calculation, so homeowners should use their own taxable value and exemptions when considering the possible effect.
If Proposition A fails, the district says the total tax rate would remain at $0.8931 per $100 of valuation and the proposed compensation changes would not be funded through this measure.
Bring an acceptable form of identification
Texas voters are generally asked to present one of seven approved photo IDs, such as a Texas driver license, Texas identification card, passport or election identification certificate.
A registered voter who cannot reasonably obtain one of the approved photo IDs may be able to complete a Reasonable Impediment Declaration and present an approved supporting document.
Anyone uncertain about identification requirements should review the current state guidance before going to the polls.
What if you live in the Travis County portion of Round Rock?
A small portion of Round Rock lies in Travis County, and those residents should use VoteTravis to confirm their correct polling location and personalized ballot.
Do not assume a Williamson County location is correct simply because the mailing address says Round Rock.
Before you leave
Check your voter record, review your personalized sample ballot, confirm the center is active and note that anyone in line by 7 p.m. is entitled to remain in line and vote.
Campaign apparel and electioneering are restricted near polling places, so plan to leave candidate or proposition materials outside the prohibited area.
The fastest preparation is also the simplest: verify your location, read your ballot and bring the identification you intend to use.
