Voters across Collin County went to the polls Saturday to select city and school board officials and decide on property tax-backed debt propositions.

Bond debt was the big winner on ballots around the county. Eight of nine cities and school districts passed their property tax-backed debt propositions. Only voters in Allen Independent School District said ‘no,’ rejecting the district’s $422 million debt-financed spending package.

Two hotly contested Plano City Council races will go to runoffs, as no candidates received a majority of votes. Challenger Shelby Williams and incumbent Ron Kelley will compete for Place 5; Lily Bao and Ann Bacchus will face off again for the open Place 7 seat. Runoff elections will be held on June 8.
