BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Campaign season, at least for city elections, is almost over.

The City of Birmingham will hold runoff elections for four seats — two on the city council and two on the school board — on Tuesday, Oct. 5.

The results of the runoff elections will determine who will represent residents in these districts after no candidate garnered more than half of votes in these races on Aug. 24.

Registered voters in districts one, four and nine can cast ballots on Tuesday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

If needed, you can determine what district you live in, check your voter registration, or find your polling place online ahead of Tuesday’s election.

Below are overviews of each of the four races.

Birmingham City School Board District 1

Sherman Collins, Jr. (left) versus Dr. Doug Ragland (right)

The first district’s school board race is between incumbent Dr. Doug Ragland and challenger Sherman Collins, Jr.

District one is located in northeast Birmingham and includes Spring Lake, Killough Springs, Echo Highlands and parts of Huffman.

In the August election, Ragland and Collins received a nearly equal share of the vote. 42.76% of votes went to Ragland and 43.07% of votes cast went to Ragland.

Although Ragland currently holds the first district seat, Collins is no stranger to the school board. He held the position before, from 2013 until 2017, when he made an unsuccessful bid for city council.

Ragland and Collins participated in a runoff debate held by CBS 42, where they discussed issues ranging from mandatory vaccinations for school children to what they learned from their first jobs. You can watch the debate below or read a summary of it here.

In the August election, Hilliard received a slightly higher vote share than Meadows. Hilliard received 43.15% of the vote while Meadows received 41.90%.
