Arlington Runoff Election on June 18
A runoff election is scheduled Saturday, June 18 for the open at-large District 6 City Council seat.

Long Pham received 46.5% of the vote and Albert Parra received 35.9%, according to unofficial vote totals. If you are voting between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 18, you can vote at any open polling place in Tarrant County.
