Arlington voters re-elected three incumbent City Council members but a run-off election will be necessary next month to determine the winners of the District 3 and District 5 council seats.
Voters also approved two propositions on the May 6, 2017, Joint General and Special Elections ballot. The first proposition was whether $45 million in general obligation bonds should be spent to build an Active Adult Center and the second proposition was whether to adopt State Civil Service for the Arlington Fire Department.
