奥斯汀市议会改选：第三区与第五区无人过半，预计12月12日决选
德克萨斯州奥斯汀市市议会改选于11月3日投票，十个选区中有五个改选。据特拉维斯县书记官办公室的非官方计票与当地媒体报道，第三区和第五区均无人得票过半，预计进入12月12日的决选。
第三区，现任议员 José Velásquez 得票约49%，挑战者 Neha Shah 约25%，两人分居前两位，但因无人过半，须在决选中再分高下。
第五区，现任议员 Ryan Alter 得票领先，但同样未能过半，预计将与 David Weinberg 在12月12日决选。
市议会席位当选须取得过半数选票，无人过半时由得票前两名进入决选。上述结果为非官方计票，最终以县方认证为准。
Two Austin City Council Races Head Toward December 12 Runoffs
Austin, Texas, voted on November 3 to fill five of its ten city council district seats. According to unofficial returns from the Travis County Clerk and local reporting, no candidate cleared 50 percent in District 3 or District 5, sending both races to a December 12 runoff.
In District 3, incumbent Jose Velasquez took about 49 percent of the vote and challenger Neha Shah about 25 percent, the top two finishers, but with no majority the seat will be decided in the runoff.
In District 5, incumbent Ryan Alter led the field but likewise fell short of a majority and is expected to face David Weinberg in the December 12 runoff.
Council seats require a majority vote; when no candidate reaches it, the top two advance to a runoff. All results are unofficial until certified by the county.
