The last day to register to vote in spring elections is Thursday, April 6.

Wylie voters are being asked to select a mayor, two members of the city council and four members of the Collin College board of trustees, and decide the fate of a $600 million Collin College construction bond issue.

Officially, election day is Saturday, May 6.

Of three positions to be filled in Wylie city government, only one, for City Council Place 5, is contested. Seeking the job are Zewge “Ziggy” Kagnew and Timothy “Toby” Wallace, DVM. Incumbent William Whitney III opted to not seek re-election this year.

Running unopposed are incumbent Mayor Eric Hogue and council incumbent David Dahl, Place 6.

The Collin College bond issue, if approved by voters, will provide funds to build a 7,000-student campus in Wylie, education centers in Farmersville and Celina, and a technology center in McKinney, as well as provide for maintenance projects at existing facilities.

Three seats on the college board of trustees are contested. Seeking those spots are Fred Moses and Greg Gomel, both of Plano, in Place 1, incumbent Nancy Wurzman and Jeri Chambers, both of Plano, in Place 2, and incumbent Larry Wainwright of Allen and Stacy Donald of Plano in Place 3.

Running unopposed to fill the remaining portion of an unexpired term on the college board is incumbent Raj Menon of Plano.

Early voting runs from April 24 through May 2.
