Frisco ISD has released final unofficial election results for the three spots that were up for election on the district board of trustees. 

With all precincts and vote centers reporting in Collin and Denton counties, reports indicate a win for Gopal Ponangi, Marvin Lowe and Stephanie Elad for places 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Results are not considered official until canvassed. Frisco ISD has said its canvassing date is scheduled for May 18.

According to the Frisco ISD elections webpage: "There are no runoff elections; the candidate who receives the most votes (a combined total from Collin and Denton counties) wins the seat on the School Board."
