More than half of Austin voters could not agree on one candidate to be the city’s next mayor Tuesday night, so voters will return to the polls in a month to determine the ultimate winner.
Celia Israel and Kirk Watson are heading to a runoff election to determine who will be Austin's next mayor.

Because both are just shy of the more than 50% of votes needed to secure office, the two will face off in a runoff election Dec. 13.“We did it,” Israel said, as she huddled under umbrellas at an outdoor bar on the city’s East Side.“The good ‘ole boys raised over a million dollars against us and we said, ‘Not today,’” she said.
“We have work to do, though, in order to maintain our home the way we want our home to be,” he said."Let’s get to work, let’s finish this, and then the real work will come in making sure Austin is the place we continue to love.”, not the typical four years. Last year, voters passed a proposition moving mayoral elections to the same year as presidential ones; as a result, Austin voters will choose a mayor again in 2024.
