Runoff elections set

Austin City Council met Tuesday to certify the results of the Nov. 3 election and to set runoff elections for District 6, which pits incumbent Jimmy Flannigan against Mackenzie Kelly, and District 10, where incumbent Alison Alter will face off against Jennifer Virden. Early voting for the Dec. 15 runoff will take place Dec. 3-5 and Dec. 7-11. City Clerk Jannette Goodall told Council that a final list of polling locations will be brought back to Council for approval on Dec. 1. She admitted the process of finding locations for runoffs “is the worst two weeks of the year” for her, and the situation has only been exacerbated by the pandemic.
