Sec. 18.4. Majority vote: Runoff elections.
A. Except as provided in this Section with regard to runoff elections, a majority (more than half), of the votes cast for all candidates for each City elective office is required for the election of the candidate to such office. In the event no candidate for an elective office receives a majority of the votes cast for all candidates for such office, the two (2) candidates receiving the highest numbers of votes cast for any such office shall thereby qualify as candidates for such office at a runoff election to be held not later than seventy (70) days after such election. In the event that any person qualifies pursuant to law to become a write-in candidate for such office at the runoff election, the candidate who receives a plurality of all the votes cast for such office in the runoff election shall be elected.
B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, members of the Board of Education shall continue to be elected by a plurality of votes cast.
