The votes have been cast in the South Tucson city council elections held March 8, but voters will have to wait until after a runoff election scheduled for May 17 to know the final outcome.
In order for candidates to win a city council seat, they are required to win 50 percent plus one vote of the cast votes. However, only two candidates Jennifer Eckstrom and Anita Romero had enough votes to fulfill this caveat as of press time.
The runoff election will determine the remaining open seats. The candidates are: Paul Diaz, John Garcia, Ildefonso A. Green, Miguel E. Rojas, Manuel Romero III, and Mary H. Soltero.
Go to the Sam Lena South Tucson Branch Library, the South Tucson Station Post Office or the South Tucson City Clerk to vote in the May 17 runoff election.
