In any election for Mayor or Common Council member within the city, a candidate to be elected must receive a majority of the votes cast for that office. If more than two candidates are running for Mayor or Common Council member, and one candidate does not receive the majority of the votes cast, a secondary election shall be held two weeks from the date of the first election. At the secondary election, the only persons voted for shall be the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes at the first election. The secondary election shall be held at the same polling places, be conducted, returned, canvassed, and the result declared and entered upon the journal of the city in the same manner as the first election. The person receiving the highest number of votes at the secondary election is elected.
