Voters say no to liquor
Return to the polls for city council runoff elections
Saturday’s citywide election featured voters rejecting the bid to allow wider liquor sales in Frisco while runoffs for city council will take place June 18.
May 9, 2016
After weeks of intersections being plastered with campaign signs and candidates campaigning around the county, Frisco residents voted on an alcohol proposition that could have turned Frisco wet, two city council positions, and a spot on the school board.
Approximately 10.8 percent of the voting age population of Frisco turned out to vote in the election. Per election rules for the Frisco City Council election, both city council elections will move forward to runoff elections that will be held on June 18, as neither winner achieved the 50 percent margin needed to clinch the spot.
