What Richardson voters need to know for early voting

Richardson voters will see five bond propositions, 50 charter amendments and up to two Richardson ISD school board elections on the ballot:

• Richardson bond election: The ballot will include five propositions for the city’s $223.4 million bond proposal, including funds for street improvements, fire facilities, park and recreational facilities, sidewalks, and flood control and drainage.
• Richardson charter amendments: Many of the 50 charter amendments are grammatical corrections or clarifying language, but substantive amendments include adding a one-year residency requirement for council, board and commission members, and requiring a mayor or council member to resign from their position if they become a candidate for a different elective public office.
• Richardson ISD board of trustees: All voters who live in Richardson ISD will vote in the election for At-Large Place 6 on the school board. Voters who live in RISD District 3 will also vote in the election for the District 3 seat.
