April 22, 2026
Wilkes County voters will head to the polls on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, to decide on the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (E-SPLOST) referendum.
This is not a new tax. It is a continuation of the current one-cent sales tax used to support school system needs, such as:
• School safety improvements
• Facility upgrades and maintenance
• Buses and technology
• Other capital needs across the district
Early voting will take place April 27 through May 15, 2026.
