The position is significant, as it may change the balance of the voting on the nine-member Hoboken City Council.

Three candidates ran for the 1st Ward council seat in November, and only the two top vote-getters are in a runoff.

Paul Presinzano and Rafi Cordova are vying for the spot, which pays $35,000 a year.

Incumbent Councilman Michael DeFusco decided not to run again.
