Re: Special Called Town Council Meeting – June 17, 2019
Agenda Item:
Consider and act upon an ordinance canvassing the returns and declaring the results of the June
8, 2019, Runoff Election.
Description of Agenda Item:
The Town of Prosper held a runoff election on June 8, 2019, in accordance with the Texas Election
Code. The Collin County and Denton County Early Voting Ballot Boards have reconvened and
completed their count of provisional ballots.
Two provisional votes were submitted in Denton County; however, neither were counted. Five
provisional votes were submitted in Collin County, two of which were counted. One was included
in the Election Day totals, and the other was added to the total count after Election Day; therefore,
the total vote count increased by one vote since the unofficial tabulation was released on
Election Day.
The final official election results are included below:
Place/Candidate

Meigs Miller 562 26 588 52.69%
1028 88 1116 100.00%
The Town Charter states that the candidate for elective office receiving a majority of the votes
cast shall be declared the winner; therefore, Meigs Miller has been duly elected to Town Council
Place 4.
Legal Obligations and Review:
Terrence Welch of Brown & Hofmeister, L.L.P., has approved the standard ordinance as to form
and legality.
Prosper is a place where everyone matters.
