Welcome to the Midlothian ISD trustee election page.  Trustee elections are conducted annually on the uniform election day in May. While candidates run for specific places, they do not represent a specific  geographical area; rather, each represents Midlothian ISD at large.

All applications filed are public records and open to inspection upon request.
