Three of the seven seats on the Magnolia Independent School District board of trustees were scheduled for by-district general election on May 7, 2016. The election was canceled, however, due to lack of opposition. Incumbents Deborah Rose Miller and Gary Blizzard were unopposed in their bids to keep the Position 2 and 3 seats, respectively, and newcomer Kelly McDonald was the only candidate to file for the Position 1 seat.[1][2]
Elections
Voter and candidate information
The Magnolia Independent Board of Trustees consists of seven members elected by district to three-year terms. Each member is elected to a specific position on the board, but represents the entire district. Elections are held every year in May with two or three seats on the ballot. The general election for Positions 1, 2, and 3 was held on May 7, 2016. There was no primary election.[2] The Position 6 and 7 seats were up for election in 2015, and the Position 4 and 5 seats were up for election in 2014.
