Since no candidate received more than 50% of the vote Nov. 3 in the District 2 Georgetown City Council race, there will be a runoff election for the two candidates with the most votes–Shawn Hood and Lisa King.

The runoff with Hood and King will be Dec. 15, the city announced. The early voting period will be Dec. 3-11. Polling locations and times will be announced after they are determined.
