RUN-OFF ELECTION

SECTION 6-A(22). If at any election held there be any office to which the required number of persons were not elected, as hereinbefore provided, then said first election shall be construed to have been a primary election for the nomination of candidates, and a second election shall be held to fill such office or offices. The candidates, equal in number to not more than twice the number to be elected to any given office which was not so filled by the said first election, who receive the highest number of votes for the respective offices at such first election, shall be the only candidates at said second election; provided, that if two or more candidates receive an equal number of votes at said first election and are the candidates who receive the highest number of votes therefor, then all persons shall become candidates for such office at such second election.

The candidates, equal in number to the persons to be elected at such second election, who shall receive the highest number of votes at such second election, shall be elected.
