Election Day for the General Runoff Election is Saturday, December 14th.
Early voting for the December 14th General Runoff Election starts on Monday, December 2nd and runs through Tuesday, December 10th.
What are runoff elections?
In most elections, a candidate must win a plurality (the most votes) AS WELL AS the majority of votes, meaning they must earn more than 50% of the vote to be certified as the winner of their race.
In races with multiple candidates, it can be difficult for one candidate to earn over 50% of the vote as votes are split between all of the candidates. Thus, a candidate may receive the plurality of votes but not the majority of votes. A runoff election is a second election between the top two candidates when no candidate meets the criteria for winning in the first election.
What is on the ballot?
Some races across the ACC District require a runoff election, including:
- Austin City Council District 7
- Austin ISD Board of Trustees At-Large Position 8
- Kyle City Council District 5
- Mayor, City of Manor
- San Marcos City Council Place 5
