Copperas Cove voters will have the opportunity to cast ballots on Saturday, May 6 for two positions on the Central Texas College board of trustees.
Polls on Saturday, May 6, are open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., at the Copperas Cove Early Voting Center, located at 508B Cove Terrace Shopping Center. Early voting wrapped up on Tuesday, May 2. 
Voting for the CTC board of trustees is open to voters who reside within the CCISD and KISD school districts.
During early voting, a total of 79 voters cast ballots in Copperas Cove for the election. Over in the KISD region, voters cast ballots during the early voting time period but those numbers were not available as of press time.
Place 6, held by incumbent Don Armstrong, is a three-way race between Armstrong, Camron Cochran, and Ernest Wilkerson. 
Incumbent Rex Weaver is the sole candidate who filed to run for Place 7.
Armstrong has been on the board of trustees since first being elected in May 1993, and Weaver was first elected in May 2005.
The CTC board of trustees is made up of seven elected representatives from the school’s district, which include the Killeen and Copperas Cove independent school districts.
Each trustee serves a six-year term. 
There will not be other positions open on the board of trustees until the May 2025 election. Other trustees include Jimmy Towers (2025), Bill W. Beebe (2027), Brenda Coley (2027), Charles Hollinger (2025) and James A. Pierce, Jr. (2025).
