Two run-off elections in East Point

City voters will return to the polls in December for a run-off election to decide who will be mayor. One council race is also undecided, forcing a second election for the Ward A at-large seat.


Mayor Joe Macon will face former council member Earnestine Pittman after neither received more than 50 percent of the vote.  

Pittman lead the four-way race for the top elected city position with close to 40 percent of the vote.  Macon, a one-term incumbent, had close to 33 percent. 


In the Ward A at-large race, incumbent Greg Fann and challenger Sharonda Hubbard will again be on the hunt for votes. Fann received 37 percent of the vote to Hubbard's 33 percent.  

In the other council races, voters backed three incumbents.
