On the ballot
The Bryan mayoral race includes Gutierrez and Peña. This position is currently held by Gutierrez who is seeking a second term.
For Bryan City Council Place 1, incumbent Torres is running against Scotti. The Place 2 race includes incumbent Arrington, Moseley and Ransome.
The vote for the removal of the medians goes back to August, when the city received enough verified signatures for it to qualify for the ballot. As previously reported by Community Impact, the removal could result in legal challenges.
During the Oct. 19-30 early voting period, 56,826 Brazos County voters cast ballots for the Nov. 3 election, according to daily early voting totals from the county elections office.
Totals from ballots cast on Election Day have not yet been released. The polls closed at 7 p.m., but voters who were in line at that time were still able to cast ballots after the closure.
Community Impact will update this article as more election day vote totals are released. All results remain unofficial until confirmed by the county. Visit www.communityimpact.com/bryan-college-station/voter-guide to see results from elections across the region.
