Myrtle Beach is headed for a runoff election. What does that mean for voters?
Two Myrtle Beach City Council seats are headed to a runoff election.
On Tuesday night, Myrtle Beach elected Mark Kruea as its next mayor and incumbent councilman Mike Lowder to serve four more years on the city council
But none of the nine other council candidates garnered enough votes to automatically win the remaining council positions. That means Myrtle Beach voters will cast ballots in the runoff election on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025.
The three candidates with the highest vote tallies after Lowder will square off in the runoff. Incumbent councilwoman Jackie Hatley, who received 15.44% of votes, newcomer Nick Vaugh, who received 13.76% of votes, and former councilman Phil Render, who received 13.41% of the vote, will be on the runoff ballot.
