COLUMBIA (WACH) -- The polls are closed and the results are coming to find out who will replace disgraced former City Councilman E.W. Cromartie in Columbia's District II.

For the fifth time in four months, voters in the district went back to the polls.
There were eight candidates to choose from.
Whoever wins will serve the last two years of what would have been Cromartie's term.
Officials didn't expect a lot of voters at the polls because of the number of elections so far this year.
And poll workers say turnout was mixed today.
"It seems to be very slow today," says Johnnie Mae Bostic, Polling manager in Ward 2. "I think they're kind of burned out from voting so many times. I'm not sure it's not good."
"Well, it's doing pretty good here, we were afraid we wouldn't have a lot of people but we get so many candidates running, we've got a lot of people coming out," explains Kenneth Kinney, poll manager in Ward 32.
If one candidate doesn't receive more than 50 percent of the vote, the two with the most votes will square off in a runoff election on July 27.
