Overview

  • Unofficial election-night returns show Jared Littmann leading Rhonda Pindell Charles 1,371 to 771 in the in-person count.
  • Early ward tallies indicate Harry Huntley ahead in Ward 1, Keanuú Smith-Brown leading in Ward 3, Coren Eve Makell up by two votes in Ward 4, and Craig Cussimanio in front in Ward 6.
  • Roughly 2,140 voters cast ballots in person, while about 1,610 mail or drop-box ballots had been received by 5 p.m. Tuesday, with more still to arrive and be collected.
  • The Democratic nominee will face Republican Bob O’Shea in November as term-limited Mayor Gavin Buckley leaves office and several City Council seats change hands.
  • A brief gas leak at Ward 3’s Mt. Olive Community Center halted voting for 10 to 15 minutes before BGE secured the site, with no transports for injuries reported.
