Frisco posts Collin County early voting sites for May 2 election

Frisco voters will choose a new mayor and decide City Council Place 5 and Place 6 on May 2, with early voting opening April 20 and running through April 28 at sites that include Collin College Frisco and Frisco fire stations.

The mayor’s seat is open because Jeff Cheney is term-limited. Cheney was first elected in 2017 and won reelection in November 2023; his current term expires in 2026. Frisco’s mayor and six council members are elected at-large, giving this race citywide reach in a fast-growing community where decisions on growth, traffic, development and city spending land directly on residents’ daily lives.

The ballot order for the May 2 election was drawn Feb. 19. The mayoral field is listed in this order: John Keating, Shona Sowell, Rod Vilhauer and Mark Hill. Place 5 candidates are Sreekanth Reddy, Vijay Karthik and incumbent Laura Rummel. Place 6 candidates are Brittany Colberg, Sai Krishnarajanagar, Matt Chalmers and Jerry Spencer.

Frisco’s election rules depend on which county a voter lives in, because the city spans both Collin and Denton counties. Collin County residents in Frisco may vote at any polling location during early voting and again at any polling location on Election Day. Denton County residents in Frisco may also vote at any polling location during early voting, but must cast an Election Day ballot at their designated precinct.

Collin County Elections says it will hold the May 2, 2026 Uniform Election and has set Election Day hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters are directed to the county’s polling-locations page to confirm where to go and to the sample-ballots page to review precinct-specific ballots before heading out.

City officials are steering residents to the correct county before they vote, a crucial step in Frisco, where the boundary line can determine whether a voter has flexibility on Election Day or must return to a specific precinct. Early voters have the broadest options, but on May 2 the county split will matter at the polling place.
