San Marcos — Early voting started on Monday for the Dec. 15 runoff election for San Marcos City Council Place 5.

Vying for the spot are home builder Ryan Thomason and academic advisor Lisa Marie Coppoletta.

The spot is up for grabs because incumbent Pam Couch decided not to seek another term.

In the general election Nov. 3, Thomason garnered 49.90 percent of the vote, just a handful of votes shy of winning the seat outright.

Coppoletta came in second with the approval of 26.20 percent of voters. The third person in that race, Shaune Maycock, got 23.91 percent.
