METRO: Some communitie­s are holding runoff votes today,

Several mayoral, city council races narrowed down, will be decided.

- By Tyler Estep tyler.estep@ajc.com

Voters in a handful of metro Atlanta communitie­s will hit the polls again today, deciding runoff races for key municipal positions.

The contests include five mayoral races and 11 city council spots that weren’t quite decided during the Nov. 5 elections, usually because a large number of candidates meant nobody won a majority of the votes cast — in such instances, the top two vote-getters proceed to a runoff.

In the case of one Smyrna council race, a re-vote was triggered because both candidates garnered the exact same number of votes.

Voters should check that they live within the limits of their respective cities before heading to the polls today.
