Runoff to decide Sardis race

A runoff primary election today will determine the mayoral race in Sardis.  Incumbent Billy Russell faces former Ward Three alderman Lula Palmer in the Democratic runoff.
In the May 2 primary, Russell led with unofficial results showing he garnered 254 votes against 193 received by Palmer. Mancini Quintez received 107 votes, enough to put the race in a runoff with no candidate receiving a majority.
Polls will be open from 7a.m. to 7 p.m.
