The Denton County Elections Office released early voting numbers Saturday evening.
Thousands of southern Denton County residents voted early in the General Election to decide a variety of local races, including a five-candidate race for mayor of Flower Mound, a home-rule decision in Northlake and a $746 million bond in Northwest ISD.
The Flower Mound mayoral race looks to be headed for a runoff between Derek France and Itamar Gelbman. If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, a runoff is triggered between the top two vote-getters. After early voting, France has 40.61% of the vote and Gelbman has 26.83%.
In Highland Village, voters overwhelmingly supported the incumbents seeking reelection to City Council. Mike Lombardo, Tom Heslep and Dan Jaworski will each serve another two-year term.
Northlake will overwhelmingly approve its new Home Rule Charter. After early voting, 86.39% of voters voted for the proposition.
In Lewisville ISD, Buddy Bonner and Allison Lassahn are leading in early voting totals, but Lassahn’s lead is a tight one over Sheila Taylor.
