Poll closes at 7 p.m.

The Ward 1 council seat election is set for  today, Tuesday, May 20.

Alfredo Garcia and Margaret Morales will compete for that seat.

Since no candidate in Ward 1 received more than 50 percent of the vote during the March 11 primary election, the City Charter requires the two candidates who received the highest number of votes to compete in a run-off election, said Brenda Aguilar, the City Clerk for Douglas.

In the March 11 elections the Douglas community voted Michael Gomez as mayor.

Bob Fernandez was elected to Ward 3; Ray Shelton to Ward 4; Ivan Huish to Ward 5 and Louie Acedo to Ward 6.

The polling location is at the Douglas Rec Center, located at 1919 3rd Street.
