No candidate for Mayor, Council Member from Ward 1 and/or Council Member from Ward 2 received a majority of the votes cast for such office as required in Article III, Section 3.6 of the City of Brighton Charter, so a run-off election is required and will take place on December 5, 2017 between the two (2) candidates who received the highest number of votes for the open positions.
