Here are the two who were chosen for open Conway City Council seats after votes tallied

One incumbent and one challenger secured seats on Conway City Council and a run-off election will need to be held, according to the official results certified Wednesday morning.

With seven candidates vying for three open seats, incumbent Larry White — who earned the most votes with 1,244 — and newcomers Alex Hyman (1,051) and Justin Jordan (781) received the most votes.

Randy Alford (659 votes) and Jordan will have a run-off election in two weeks.

Mayor Barbara Blain-Bellamy, who was running unopposed, garnered 2,173 of 2252 votes that included write-ins to gain another term.

Tom Anderson (651), the other incumbent running, Barbara Eisenhardt (617) and Liz Gilland (533) came up short of securing a seat.
