PHOENIX — Tuesday, March 10, is Election Day in the race for three seats on the Tempe City Council.
Eligible voters can choose up to three of the seven candidates on their primary ballots (*-incumbent):
- *Jennifer Adams
- *Arlene Chin
- Joe Forte
- *Berdetta Hodge
- Bobby Nichols
- Brooke St. George
- Elvis Taska
It takes a majority of votes cast to be elected outright. With three seats up for grabs, the majority threshold is calculated by dividing the total of all votes by three and dividing that result by two.
If more than three candidates receive a majority, the top three vote-getters win seats.
If fewer than three candidates earn a majority, the remaining seats will be filled through a runoff election on May 19.
