Ward 1 incumbent Bill Claxton is being challenged by Christopher Deraney. Ward 3 incumbent Sammie Shropshire faces challenger Andreas Romero.
Voter interest during the advance voting period, which ended Friday at 5 p.m., was lukewarm. Elections superintendent Anita Reid and her staff served 136 early voters and received 63 absentee ballots.
