Voters in Prosper have some unfinished business at the ballot box as a runoff is scheduled to fill a seat on the Town Council.
Eligible citizens will be asked to vote for either Craig Andres or Chris Kern to occupy Place 2 on the Town Council. The incumbent, Kenneth Dugger, opted not to run for reelection after serving on Council since 2007. The winner of the runoff will begin a three-year term once votes are tabulated and certified. The Mayor and all Council members are elected at-large, representing the Town as a whole.
Election Day is Saturday, June 16 when polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Election Day, residents of the portion of Prosper in Collin County, specifically Precincts 199, 178, 224, 214, may vote at the Town’s Municipal Chambers, 108 W.
