If you have a mail-in ballot that you weren't able to drop off before early voting ended, you'll need to get that dropped off at one of four election offices. You won't be able to drop off a mail-in ballot at your polling place; however, if you do want to vote on Election Day, you can have your mail ballot canceled. Click here for more information.
The runoff election was triggered when none of the candidates for the four district seats initially received more than 50% of the vote.
