Polls have closed in the races for mayor and three seats on the Austin City Council. Here are the results.
The race went to a runoff in November when candidates Stephanie Bazan and Ryan Alter received the most votes but neither a majority.
Austin voters on Tuesday will choose a new mayor, as well as new City Council representatives in three districts.
Policing, Project Connect and the looming I-35 expansion are top issues in District 5. Stephanie Bazan and Ryan Alter both wish to represent the South Austin district at City Hall.
The mayor's race and three Austin City Council seats will be decided in the runoffs. Early voting starts Dec. 1, and election day is Dec. 13.
