Election Tomorrow
Don’t forget to vote tomorrow! It is always critical for Frisco to have a good voter turn-out. It helps us in many ways AND is important to exercise our right to vote. Below is some helpful information:
NOVEMBER 8TH ELECTION:
Since this is a County Election, polling locations are different than City Elections. Because of that, the city website was causing some confusion for Citizens. We have updated the website with the following information:
All Collin County Residents - Vote at Collin County Community College, 9700 Wade Blvd.
Denton County Residents - You must know your precinct number and vote at the polling location listed below:
Precinct 117 and 137: Griffin Middle School, 3703 Eldorado Parkway, between Teel and Legacy.
Precinct 131: The Colony High School, 4301 Blair Oaks Road, The Colony
The precinct number can be found on your voter’s registration card. If you cannot locate your card, you may call the City Secretary’s Office at 972/335-5551 and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Nativity Exhibit
[From former Council Member Tracie Shipman] Please join me at the Fourth Annual Frisco Nativity Exhibit, lovingly hosted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. There is no better way to get into the spirit of the season than exploring the hundreds of treasured Nativities from around the world at the exhibit. It's a breath-taking and moving display of faith and art combined. Families are welcome and admission is free. The Nativities are on exhibit for only two days: December 2nd and 3rd from 10 am to 9 pm each day I will be performing my annual Christmas Concert at 8:00 pm [note from Maher: Tracie can really whip out some vocal’s. By the way, this plug is partially so that Tracie NEVER EVER volunteers me to publicly sing in any way. My political career would be over if anyone was subjected to that!] that Friday evening,the 2nd. I'd love to see you there! 5095 Coit Rd in Frisco, just north of Hwy 121 Downtown Advisory BoardNOTICE The City of Frisco is accepting applications for individuals interested in volunteering to serve on the Downtown Advisory Board.
