Races for Celina mayor, Celina City Council and Celina ISD school board were decided in a joint election May 2.
There were 1,817 votes cast for city races and 1,712 votes cast for school board races. Some people who live within city limits and vote in city races live outside Celina ISD boundaries and therefore can’t vote in school board races, and vice versa. Still, there is a large overlap between the two constituencies.
“Most likely in this election, there will be less than 2,500 people that live in Celina that will actually vote,” council member Philip Ferguson, who was not up for election, said in a social media post on the first day of early voting. “It’s pretty sad, isn’t it?”
