Incumbent Steve Selby and Tony Trout will go before voters for a third time in three months.

The two were among three candidates in the June 8 primary and then faced each other in a runoff two weeks later.

Trout won the runoff by 18 votes, but Selby successfully challenged the results on the basis that people had illegally voted in the runoff, including some who voted in the Democratic primary and then the GOP runoff.

The winner today will face Democratic Party candidate Jeff White in the general election in November.

Polls will open at 7 a.m. today and close at 7 p.m.

Residents who didn't vote in the June Democratic primary may vote.
