U.S. House special election, WISD bond referendum spice up ballot
Waxahachie Daily Light
Normally, the early-May joint city and school elections are a staid affair, with local candidates vying genially for local office. The last two election cycles, however, have been anything but normal.
Last spring’s balloting was shoved to November because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the stakes in Ellis County are boosted by not only a major Waxahachie ISD bond referendum, but also a U.S. congressional special election made necessary by the Feb. 7 death of District 6 Republican Rep. Ron Wright.
Tuesday was the final day for early voting at election centers throughout Ellis County. Election Day voting begins Saturday at 7 a.m. and will continue until 7 p.m. A list of vote centers is available on the Ellis County Elections website.
