Today is election day, and the Austin Monitor formally invites all of our readers to join the proud few to vote in this runoff. Representation for City Council Districts 1, 3 and 8 will be decided tonight in addition to one at-large Austin Independent School District trustee and Place 8 for the Austin Community College Board. A list of voting locations is available on the Travis County Clerk’s Office website. Approximately 18,000 Austinites cast ballots in early voting, which represents just 2.71 percent of eligible voters.
