The two council seats up for grabs in Saturday’s runoff election saw an early voter turnout nearly five times greater than that of a similar runoff election in June 2013. A total of 11,977 early voters participated in the runoff election, compared to 2,431 residents who voted early in the last comparable Plano election, the 2013 runoff. The final votes will be cast Saturday on election day. For comparison, early voting for the May 6 general election brought in 18,619 voters. The runoff election will decide the seats for Place 2 and Place 8 on the city council. Anthony Ricciardelli and Ann Bacchus are running for Place 2. Rick Smith and David Downs, the incumbent, are running for Place 8.
