Thomas Scott, Naya Young head to October runoff after crowded Special Election for Tampa City Council
Thomas Scott and Naya Young will head to a runoff next month after coming out on top in a crowded Special Election on Tuesday night.
Scott was the top vote-getter, with 27% of the vote, but because he didn’t receive more than 50% of the vote, he’ll face Young in the Oct. 28 runoff election.
Voter turnout was just 8%, with only 3,646 ballots cast. That’s more than 45,000 registered voters.
Young finished with 13% of the vote, according to unofficial results from the Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections office.
