Coin Toss Settles Mayoral Race

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — What do you do when two candidates running for mayor in the Philippines get exactly the same number of votes? You get them to toss a coin. Marvic Feraren and Boyet Py both received 3,236 votes for mayor of San Teodoro town in Mindoro Oriental province in Monday's elections. The Elections Commissions suggested the two men flip a coin five times each, which is allowed under the country's Election Code to break a tie. Feraren won Tuesday, but not before a second round of coin flipping. They tied in the first round too.
