Election Results: See All Races Here
For the first time since 2011, the people of Dallas are electing a new mayor -- but we'll have to wait until a June 8 runoff to know who it is. After eight years in office, Mayor Mike Rawlings is term-limited out and a new successor will be chosen -- it'll be either Scott Griggs or Eric Johnson.
Voters will also choose a new City Council, three Dallas ISD trustees and weigh-in on a very large bond package presented by the Dallas County Community College District.
The results of those races are below and will continue to be updated throughout the evening.
The race for Dallas mayor has a healthy nine candidates, and with none securing more than 51 percent of the vote we're headed to a runoff on June 8 between Eric Johnson and Scott Griggs.
Dallas voters were also asked to choose their new City Council for all 14 districts. Those districts are broken down below.
