Polling locations will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
A $124.9 million bond proposal to expand and update Temple College facilities will be decided by local residents.
The proposal, if approved, would call for a major expansion of the schoolâs Health Sciences Center to address a shortage of health care workers as well as providing updates to several college buildings that are 50 to 60 years old.
âIf approved, the new facilities could be completed by 2026 when Temple College will be celebrating its 100th anniversary,â TC President Christy Ponce said. âThese campus advancements would represent an important milestone in Temple Collegeâs history of being trusted for generations and building for the future.â
After early voting for local elections ended Tuesday night, three more cities have now reported the total number of votes they have seen so far.
Multiple entities across the county are currently holding elections for municipal seats as well as seats on school boards and the issuance of new bonds. Election Day voting is set from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.
Temple officials reported Wednesday that the city saw 3,267 ballots cast during early voting between the two races it is hosting at its sites from 1,641 voters.
The Temple mayoral race between incumbent Tim Davis and challenger Richard Arwood saw 1,627 votes cast, while a bond issue for Temple College saw 1,640 votes. The Temple College bond is for $124.9 million and would be used for expanding campus facilities and programs.
Expanded hours â 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. â will be one feature for Temple voters on the last day of early voting for municipal and school elections Tuesday.
Temple residents can vote early for both Temple College bond issue and the mayorâs race at two locations: Temple City Hall, 2 N. Main St.; and Temple Collegeâs One College Centre, 2600 S. First St. Those and other area municipal and school elections will be held Saturday.
Early voting totals in the city of Temple mayorâs race and Temple College bond elections appeared steady, according to information released Monday by the Temple City Secretaryâs office.
With early voting beginning Monday for the May 1 election, many municipal elections â such as Temple mayor â and bond issues will be determined by area voters.
Texas Secretary of State Ruth R. Hughs encouraged those eligible Texas voters to cast their ballots as soon as possible.
âTexas voters will have the opportunity to make their voices heard by voting on candidates and measures that will directly affect the governance of their cities, towns, school districts and other localities,â Hughs said in a statement Wednesday. âI encourage all eligible Texans to set aside time to ensure that they are informed and prepared so that they can confidently cast their vote and help shape the future of the Lone Star State.â
