Dallas County voters will be able to vote at Sachse City Hall, located at 3815 Sachse Rd., in the courtroom. They can also vote at the gym inside BG Hudson Middle School, which is located at 4405 Hudson Drive.

All Sachse residents will be asked to vote on 23 charter amendments. Among the additions are term limits for the mayor and councilmembers, grammatical corrections and changes to petitions filed in the city.

Collin County inhabitants will have their say on four Wylie ISD races.

The race for Place 1 pits incumbent Stacie Smith, who is also the president of the board of trustees, against challenger Jill Palmer. Place 2 has no incumbent but features former Wylie East High School Principal Mike Williams running against challenger Jeffrey Keech. 

Former Wylie High School Principal and current Wylie Preparatory Academy employee Virdie Montgomery is opposed by Kevin Brooks for Place 5, which also has no incumbent. Place 6 pits incumbent Jacob Day against Michael Schwerin.

Trustees in Wylie ISD are elected to four-year terms.

At the state level, individuals will cast ballots for the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and state comptroller. They will also vote for a land commissioner, railroad commission and representatives on the state board of education.

State representatives and senators are also on this year’s ballot.

Collin County residents will also vote for a county judge and district clerk. 

Incumbent Republican Chris Hill is opposed by Democratic nominee Joshua Murray for the county judge seat. In the district clerk race, Republican Mike Gould faces Democrat Greg Brignac.

In Dallas County, Republican challenger Lauren Davis faces the incumbent Democratic candidate Clay Jenkins for county judge. For criminal district attorney, Republican Faith Johnson is running against incumbent Democratic candidate John Creuzot.

Residents will also vote for their U.S. representative in either District 3 or District 5, depending on where they live in the city.
