The race for Sachse City Council Place 4 will be decided Saturday, June 13, as voters choose between Gurvinder Singh and Tim Legh-Page in a runoff election.

The runoff was triggered after no candidate received a majority of votes in the May 2 general election. Singh led the four-candidate field with 825 votes, or 45.91%, followed by Legh-Page with 659 votes, or 36.67%. Alan Bell received 220 votes and Beau Hooten received 93 votes.

Place 4 is currently held by Chance Lindsey, who did not seek reelection. 

Early voting for the runoff ended June 9. Through June 7, Collin County reported 347 early votes cast, while Dallas County reported 712 early votes. Election officials had also received 31 mail ballots. Combined, early voting and mail ballot totals represented just over 5% of the city’s 20,587 registered voters as of May 2.

With early voting complete, election officials are encouraging residents who have not yet voted to make plans to cast a ballot on Election Day. Voter turnout in runoff elections is often lower than in general elections, making participation by eligible voters especially important.

Election Day voting will be held from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, June 13.

In Sachse, Dallas County voters may cast ballots at Sachse City Hall, Courtroom, 3815-B Sachse Road; First United Methodist Church Gym, 1520 Blackburn Road; or BG Hudson Middle School Practice Gym, 4405 Hudson Drive. Collin County voters may vote at the Michael J. Felix Community Center, Room A/B, 3815-E Sachse Road. Eligible voters also may vote at other county-approved vote centers. Officials encourage residents to confirm polling locations before heading to the polls.

Voters should verify their polling locations with their county elections office before heading to the polls.
