2009 Election results

See election results for the November 3, 2009 Municipal Election. The City used ranked-choice voting in its Municipal Election in 2009 for the first time. Voters ranked up to 3 different candidates.

Background

On election night, unverified first round results were compiled using ballot counter machines in the precincts.

Since there is no federally- or state-certified voting equipment capable of counting a ranked-choice voting election, the election was hand-counted to determine the winners. Unofficial winners in individual races were announced as the count and analysis was completed.
