Are you saying that only voters who voted in the general election are eligible to vote in the runoff?

"Only the electors who were duly registered to vote and not subsequently deemed disqualified to vote in the...election, or special election for candidates for that particular office shall be entitled to vote therein,..."

Thanks, Wally_Kalbacken! That statute appears to mean that only voters who were already registered to vote in the original election can vote in the runoff election. Is that correct?

And thanks to Blueflag! Is October 5 the deadline for the original vote?
