Based on Number of Registered VotersBased on Number of Votes Cast

Note: These numbers are from the official election results received from the County for votes cast per each Councilmember position. The County reports for 2013 - 2016 elections are

attached. There is a slight discrepancy from the info on number of voters by district (provided previously to the CRC on February 1) as Denton County pulled that more detailed information

from a separate database that is continuously being updated - therefore, the previous numbers were an estimate intended to show the breakdown of voters by district.
