Tim Legh-Page has won the runoff election for Sachse City Council Place 4, according to unofficial results from the Saturday, June 13 election.
Legh-Page received 1,211 votes, or 53.63%, while Gurvinder Singh received 1,047 votes, or 46.37%, giving Legh-Page a 164-vote margin of victory. The results remain unofficial until they are canvassed by the Sachse City Council at its June 23 meeting. Legh-Page is scheduled to be sworn into office June 24.
The runoff was required after no candidate secured more than 50% of the vote in the May 3 general election. Singh led the four-candidate field with 45.91% of the vote, while Legh-Page received 36.67%.
Final unofficial returns showed Legh-Page winning both portions of the city divided between Collin and Dallas counties.
In Collin County, Legh-Page received 497 votes, or 58.4%, compared to 354 votes, or 41.6%, for Singh.
In Dallas County, Legh-Page received 714 votes, or 50.75%, while Singh received 693 votes, or 49.25%.
Combined totals from both counties gave Legh-Page 1,211 votes and Singh 1,047 votes out of 2,258 ballots cast.
With the runoff victory, Legh-Page will succeed Place 4 Councilmember Chance Lindsey, who did not seek reelection.
The results will become official following certification by the council later this month.
