If no candidate for a particular office receives a majority of the votes cast for all candidates for that office in the first election, a runoff election for that office is required. Candidates in the runoff election will be listed on the ballot in the order of their standing in the first election. If two candidates tie in the number of votes received in the first election, they shall cast lots to determine the order in which their names will be listed on the runoff ballot. The runoff election will be conducted in accordance with the Texas Election Code, as amended. (Amend. of 4-2-83, Prop. No. 4; Amend. of 8-12-89, Prop. No. 5; Amend. of 5-1-93, Prop. No. 6)
