CS City Council Place-5 runoff election update

On Tuesday, Dec. 15, the unofficial tabulation was:

Craig Regan: 512 (20.49%)
John Nichols: 1,987 (79.51%)

On Wednesday, Dec. 16, the Brazos County Elections Administrator notified the City of College Station that only three (of the 1,097 possible) mail ballots were received by the 5 p.m. deadline.

While military ballots (499 remain out) may still be received until Monday, Dec. 21 at 5 p.m., those numbers -- combined with the three mail ballots received -- are not large enough to overcome the 1,475-vote lead held by Councilman Nichols. Therefore, Councilman Nichols will be re-elected to his Place-5 seat and will receive the oath of office on Tuesday, Dec. 29 at 4 p.m. His term will run through 2024.
