As the dust settles from the general election on May 3, Lewisville's City Council Place No. 4 is gearing up to finally decide its representation with a runoff election. Early voting is underway and will continue up to Tuesday, June 3. It's been a close race that initially featured three candidates, but none secured the majority vote, leading us to round two between Lonnie E. Tipton and Joshua Chanin, as per the City of Lewisville.
For those who like to get their civic duty done early, you've got options on where to cast your ballot. Denton County voters can head over to the Denton County Elections Administration building or the Thrive Recreation Center, while Dallas County folks have their pick between the Elections Training Warehouse and the same Thrive Recreation Center.
It’s important to remember that this runoff election isn't just for those who participated in the first round. If you're a registered voter in Lewisville, you're encouraged to exercise your right to vote, even if you didn't vote in the general election. It's about getting your voice heard and taking part in shaping the local governance.
June 7 is the final day to make your choice known, with polls open from the beginning to the end of business hours, 7 a.m.-7 p.m. The short sprint to the finish line promises to be tightly contested, as runoffs often are, with every single vote carrying potentially decisive weight.
