The towns of Breckenridge and Frisco have released the official results from the municipal elections held on Tuesday, April 7.

No results changed in either election from the unofficial results.
In Frisco, 807 valid ballots were submitted of 2,283 registered voters for a 35% turnout. Four seats were contested in the election, and the three candidates receiving the highest number of votes will serve four-year terms, while the candidate receiving the fourth-highest number of votes will serve a two-year term.

These top-three candidates will serve four-year terms, while newcomer Thayer Hirsh (285 votes) will serve a two-year term since he received the fourth most votes, according to the town.
