Frisco Elections-November 4, 2014

It’s that time of year again, Frisco residents. To prepare for tomorrow’s election, I have provided most of the races on which Frisco residents will vote tomorrow. We have a couple of familiar names. George P. Bush is running for Commissioner of the General Land Office. Quanah Parker is running for Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 4. To be sure, this is an important election. With the exception of judges and representatives, Texas seems to be ushering a new age of leaders.

There may be a few of you that have an election not covered by these ballots (depending upon where the precinct lines are drawn), but I should cover most races for most residents of Frisco. When you get to the more local races, please note the Denton County and Collin County local races are different.

You can click on the Denton County Clerk and Collin County Clerk to take you to voter information pages. From there, you can find your voting locations and view a sample ballot.
