What if there is a runoff?

Because of the number of candidates in the council race and the number of seats open, there could be a runoff election, which would be held Nov. 17.

There are three scenarios that could play out, state election commission spokesman Chris Whitmire said.

1. If no candidate gets more than 25 percent of the vote, the top three vote-getters will participate in a runoff. The two candidates with the most votes in the runoff will get the two available council seats.

2. If only one candidate gets more than 25 percent of the vote, that person will fill one of the available seats. The next two highest vote-getters will have a head-to-head runoff for the second seat.

3. If three candidates get more than 25 percent of the vote there is no runoff and the top two vote-getters will fill the two available seats.
