Nashville voters will return to the polls on Sept. 12 for runoff elections to select a new mayor and several at-large and district council members, the Tennessean reports. In Thursday’s voting, Nashville lawyer and incumbent Mayor David Briley trailed challenger John Cooper by 10 percentage points. Another lawyer, Bob Mendes, was the only candidate to escape a runoff in the race for one of five at-large seats on the council. The next eight candidates from the 15-person field will duke it out for the four remaining seats.
