Last Saturday, June 11, 2011 city voters in District 1 and 5 went out to vote for their representatives in a run off because a clear victor was not able to muster enough votes in these two districts in the May elections.
District 1 had an incumbent defending her ability to lead the district for another term. District 5, on the other hand, had new faces looking to occupy the seat.
The following is the results of votes cast in both election sessions, according to the County’s elections department.
