The race for Sachse City Council Place 4 will be decided in a runoff election after no candidate received a majority of votes in the May 2 general election, according to unofficial results.<\/p>\n
Gurvinder Singh and Tim Legh-Page have advanced to the June 13 runoff election for the council seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Place 4 contest, currently held by Chance Lindsey, drew multiple candidates in the general election, but none reached the threshold needed to secure the seat outright, leading to the head-to-head runoff between Singh and Legh-Page.<\/p>\n
