The special election for Frisco City Council Place 1 is Saturday.

“The city council is the level of government closest to you,” the Colin County Democrats said on their website. “Its decisions determine the quality of your streets, parks, and libraries, local public safety policies and community resources, smart growth and responsible development in your neighborhood, and the character and future of the community you call home.”

The special election is being held after seat holder John Keating announced his resignation to run for mayor this May. The candidates for City Council Place 1 are Ann Anderson and Mark Piland.

Following this will be the Primary Election on Mar. 3. In accordance with Texas law, voters must register a month before the election, making the deadline Monday of next week.
