EL PASO, Texas -- Here are the results of Saturday's special election for two seats on the El Paso City Council:
District 3: Incumbent Cassandra Hernandez will remain the District 3 city council representative. According to the unofficial final results, Hernandez defeated challenger Will Veliz by garnering 52% of all votes cast.
District 6: The top two finishers, Claudia Lizzette Rodriquez and Debbie Torres, will face each other in a run-off election for the District 6 city representative seat as none of the four candidates vying for this seat hit the required 50% vote threshold to win outright. City officials told ABC-7 no date for the runoff election has been set yet, although it will likely take place in mid-January.
