What we reported From the Republican and Democratic primary and general elections, to the Frisco City Council and local option election and the Frisco ISD tax ratification election, Frisco voters had the chance to go to the polls six times in 2016.

The latest Council Member Bob Allen announced in October his intention to run for Frisco mayor. By city rules, he must vacate his current Place 1 council seat, which means the first election date of 2017 will be a special election Feb. 18 to fill the remainder of Allen’s three-year term, which ends in 2018.

What's next The first regular election of the year will be the May 6 school board elections. In the May 18 city election, voters will vote for the Frisco mayor seat and the council member seats for Places 5 and 6. With city and school board elections, the possibility of runoff elections for each, plus the possibility of another alcohol election in November, Frisco could face another election-heavy year.
