Special Biloxi mayoral election Tuesday

BILOXI, Miss. (AP) - Voters head to the polls Tuesday to decide which of the 10 candidates will be Biloxi’s next mayor.

The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

If one candidate doesn’t get more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two vote-getters will be in a runoff May 12.

This is the first municipal election when voters will be required to show valid photo ID at the polls.

Biloxi Municipal Clerk Stacy Thacker tells The Sun Herald (https://bit.ly/1z4Ytxc) no resident will be turned away on Election Day if they don’t have an ID, or if their name can’t be found on the rolls.
