A runoff election will be held for the At-Large Senator positions on Tuesday, April 9 and Wednesday, April 10 at MMC because of technical issues during the original election dates. There will also be a recount for CARTA senators at MMC due to the voting numbers being so close, and the results of the recount will come out simultaneously with the runoff results.
