(Sept. 29) Voters in Berlin will have two choices for mayor during the municipal election on Tuesday, Oct. 4
Two-term incumbent Mayor Gee Williams will face District 2 Councilwoman Lisa Hall, who gave up her seat to run for mayor. Hall has been on the council since 2008.
The deadline for write-in candidates was Tuesday, Sept. 27. According to Administrative Services Director Mary Bohlen, no additional candidates filed, meaning write-in votes will not be counted in this election.
District 2 voters will have two options to fill the seat vacated by Hall. Jack Orris, a 35-year-old office manager who holds a degree in political science, is running against 26-year-old former firefighter Zackery Tyndall, who recently earned a degree in management and finance from Salisbury University.
Neither has run for office in Berlin before.
The election for District 3 was canceled because only one candidate, incumbent Elroy Brittingham, filed before the Sept. 2 deadline. Brittingham has served on the council since 1996.
The municipal election will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Residents living in Districts 1 and 2 will vote at Buckingham Presbyterian Church on 20 South Main Street. Residents in Districts 3 and 4 will vote at the multipurpose building on 130 Flower Street.
