Please note that 35% of the votes cast, perhaps more (as many as 40%?), remain to be counted. These are ballots mailed late or dropped on election day at polls or the drop box in front of city hall; also provisionals. They are not likely to change the results except in a close race like District 2 where they could make a difference because of the closeness of the race..

Mayor Winner with ballots counted so far: JESSE ARREGUIN

First Choice votes

Jesse Arreguin 15,885 (47.44%) 51.84% with ranked choice

Laurie Capitelli 11,262 (33.64%)

Kriss Worthington 2,816 (8.41%)

Bernt Wahl 952 (2.84%)

Ben Gould 937 (2.80%)

Zachary Runningwolf 881 (2.63%)

Mike Lee 508 (1.52%)

Naomi Pete 225 (0.67%)

Ranked choice result: Jesse at 51.84% when Gould second choice votes (after second choice votes of others were counted; Kriss second choice votes were not needed. These results will update as remaining ballots are counted, but there is no likelihood that Jesse won't win. http://www.acgov.org/rov/rcv/results/230/rcvresults_6767.htm
