The City of Carrollton will choose their new mayor in the runoff election this Saturday, June 10. Following the May 6 general election two former city council members, Steve Babick and Kevin Falconer, qualified for the runoff. Last month the Metrocrest Democrats hosted a forum for the candidates to share with the voters why they deserve their vote.

The polls are open on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
