CENTERVILLE, Ga. — Voters in Centerville went to the polls to decide who will fill the Post 1 Council seat Tuesday.
According to Andy Holland with the Houston County Board of Elections, Robert Bird will face Debbie Taylor in a runoff.
Bird received the most votes, gaining 241, or 42.36%.
Taylor ended the race with 183, or 32.16% of the vote, and Susan Lemme finished with 145 votes, or 25.48%.
According to Holland, a candidate must receive 50% plus 1 vote in order to avoid a runoff.
The Post 1 seat was opened in April when Cameron Andrews left the spot after serving 20 years on council.
Holland says the runoff election will be held on July 13.
