This page also includes School Board election results here. There were 314 total votes cast, and of those 187 voters were early and 127 were on election day. Using the latest figure available from the Texas Secretary of State, in March 2024 Irion County had 1,221 registered voters, then the turnout for the May 2024 election I estimate at 26%. (The 2020 census showed Irion County with a population of 1,513. The county has 1,051.5 square miles, as compared to 1,214 square miles in Rhode Island. The number of school children registered at Irion County ISD K-12 is typically 300 to 325 students, making it a wealthy 1-A school district in Texas under the current state educational funding finance system.)
The 2019 bonds ($18 million) were passed by a margin of 123 for and 42 against.
